Best Answer

Because they bend the fabric of space time (general realitivity) to curve the light into the blackhole, and the gravitational force within the event horizon is so great that the escape velocity is greater then the speed of light.

Chloroplasts in plants trap sunlight or light energy. They use this during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide also traps the suns energy and that is why it is a greenhouse.

Light can be trapped if it is enclosed solid.

A2 In a Bose-Einstein condensate, light has been slowed to less than 10km/h. (Berkeley, 2004)

Why is light attracted to a black hole?

Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons


Is the speed of light effected by black holes?

Nope.. Light always travels at the same speed. However, black holes do affect the trajectory of the photons, hense diverting the direction of the light.


Why did black hole lose their light?

Because black holes are of such density that even light can no escape them, they don't radiate any light and are black.
