A black hole can definitely get to the size of a planet. The width of the largest known supermassive black hole is thought to be over ten times the size of the entire orbit of Neptune around our Sun.

Is a black hole the remains of a lost planet?

No. No planet is massive enough to become a black hole. A black hole is the remains of a dead, supermassive star.


What are the effects of black hole on other planets?

As the planet is approaching a black hole due to the immense gravitational pull on the objects surrounding it, the planet revolves around the black hole until it falls into the black hole.


Could black holes ever be technologicall created?

if you crush something the size of planet earth into something the size of a dime, it is tecnically "possible" to create a black hole.

What is smaller black hole or white dwarf planet?

Depends!!!A white dwarf created from a star the same size as our Sun will only be the size of our Earth.A supermassive black hole can have a diameter of 150 million kilometers (Same distance from the Earth to the Sun).However a stellar black hole can only be 30 kilometers in diameter.There is no minimum size for a black hole, so one "could" be as small as 0.1mm

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.


When did Pluto become a black hole?

Pluto has not become a black hole. Pluto is a dwarf planet located in our solar system, while black holes are objects formed from the remnants of massive stars that have collapsed under their own gravity.


How big is a black hole and what factors determine its size?

A black hole's size is determined by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The more mass a black hole has, the larger its size. The size of a black hole is typically measured by its event horizon, which is the point of no return where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. The event horizon's size is directly related to the mass of the black hole.


Can a planet orbit a black hole and why?

Yes, a planet could orbit a black hole, just like it could orbit a star. Gravity would bind them together. A planet orbiting 93 million miles from the sun feels exactly the same as if it were orbiting 93 million miles away from a black hole with the same mass as the sun has.
