Best Answer

Black holes are created when a star runs out of fuel and collapses.

That is a nova, A black hole is made when a neutron star goes SuperNova and the energy tears a hole in space, creating a strong gravitational singularity.

The matter inside a black hole is so dense that its gravity becomes so great that nothing, not even light, can escape.

What makes a black hole stronger?

If a black hole is more massive (it has more mass), it will have a stronger gravitational attraction.


Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?

No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.


Can a black hole move a planet?

Yes, a black hole can move a planet. Black holes are so massive that they can alter the orbits of stars and star systems. This makes changing planetary motion nothing to a black hole.


Can black hole get so full they pop?

No. A black hole cannot "pop." putting more material into a black hole only makes it stronger. That said, if too much material approaches a black hole at once not all of it can enter. The excess gets ejected at the black hole's poles in jets at nearly the speed of light.


Can black holes explode if they suck too much energy?

No. Any energy that enters a black hole simply becomes part of its mass. This only makes the black hole's gravity stronger.


Why do black holes get more dangerous as more stuff falls into them?

Anything that falls into a black hole becomes part of that black hole's mass, which makes the gravity stronger and causes the event horizon to grow larger.


A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?

The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What is the maximum altitude a black hole can be made at?

The question makes no sense. Altitude has nothing at all to do with black hole formation. "Altitude" really only has any significant meaning in terms of Earth and humans, and it is as far as we know absolutely impossible to "make" a black hole at any altitude.


What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.


What is the black hole in the milky way made of?

A giant supermassive black hole is just remains of a once great star, and it collapsed into on itself, pressurizing so much gravity that it makes a hole in time and space in this universe, sucking in anything, so basically it is just a hole of gravity.


What does a black hole do with what it suck in?

The material sucked in to a black hole becomes part of the black hole - that is, a black hole crushes matter to an nearly no size, at all.
