Clayton et al. (1975) have proposed the existence of a small (approximately 0.000015 solar masses) black hole in the center of the sun. Their proposal is related to an attempt to account for the discrepancy between the predicted capture rate of solar neutrinos on the basis of standard solar models and the capture rate actually measured. An investigation is conducted regarding the possibility of a capture of a primordial black hole, which happens to fall on the sun, by the mechanism of gravitational braking. Attention is given to questions of problem formulation, the asymptotic orbital parameters, the law of the retarding force, the accretion of mass, the times required for capture and accretion, and the lower mass limit. It is found that, in connection with the absolute lower limit obtained for the mass of the black hole, the possibility of a gravitational capture of a black hole in the sun cannot be excluded.
