The odd thing about black holes is that they could potentially come in any size - they could even be microscopic. An object is a black hole if its radius is smaller than its Schwarzschild radius, given by the formula r = 2Gm/(c^2), where G is the gravitational constant, c is the speed of light, and m is the mass; this holds true for any mass - a black hole the mass of our sun would be about 3 km radius; one the mass of earth would be about the size of a marble. The largest known black hole to date is over ten times the size of the orbit of Neptune - and the smallest could be immeasurably "thin". The smaller black holes are believed to be unstable and 'evaporate' the most quickly due to the Hawking radiation mechanism, and so, they may not last for very long.
