Can you explain the concept of a black hole in a way so that kids can understand?

The basic idea is that masses attract one another through a force called "gravity", and that such a force depends on the amount of mass, and the distance. It is possible to have such a large mass in such a small space that even a ray of light can't escape from such a region, due to the gravitational attraction.

Is negative black hole present?
There is no such concept of a negative black hole outside the fictional computer game involving Sentry Catapult.
How big is a super-massive black hole?
The mass of a "supermassive" black hole can be anything from "stupendous" to "mind-boggling". The black hole at the center of the Milky Way may be as massive as a million Suns, and our theories of physics do not, as yet, indicate a maximum mass.The physical size, as in the diameter, may not be a valid concept when we're talking about black holes. We do not yet understand enough about how things work to understand what goes on near a black hole.The in the centre of a black hole the mass density is infinite measuring 0 cm in diameter. No matter how large the black hole is, light cannot escape at a speed of 299,792,458 meters a second...According to Newton's second law of motion, F=ma. This equation involves objects with a fixed mass to be attracted to another object but with a greater mass.
What Object in space that has so much gravity light can't escape?
A "black hole", theorized by Stephen Hawking as a point with gravity so high that the escape velocity would exceed the speed of light. At the time, it was a revolutionary concept; since then, astronomers have gathered evidence of several black holes.
Is it possible for a wormhole to be sucked inside a black hole?
No - In fact, the hypothetical concept of a wormhole is the pairing of black hole with a white hole to create a "shortcut" (tube or tunnel) through SpaceTime. Also known as an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of SpaceTime, which, if it were even possible, would be too unstable to be maintained. Therefore a wormhole would not be "suck up" by a black hole, because the wormhole is an extension of a black hole. Rather wormholes would independently destabilize and evaporate, allowing the black hole to continue on into existence.
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.
Can you make a black hole inside a black hole?
We know nothing about the conditions within a black hole, but it seems unlikely that a black hole could exist within a black hole, or even if this concept would have any meaning at all.
How can black hole physics be explained by m-theory?
Great question. There is no one on the Internet nealy smart enough to understand m theory enough to explain that to you

Can you explain the concept of capital management?
the capital management is one of the group leader and hole leader ]
What is M in MBH?
Perhaps this stands for Micro Black Hole, a theoretical concept yet to be proved.
1000 atomic bombs explode in spaceis that strong enough to make a black hole?
No, not even close! From what I understand, a Black Hole is formed when a Star dies and collapses into a small object. Exploding a mass into space will not create a black hole.
How big is a black hole in outer space so a child can understand the answer?
Black holes actually come in different masses, and therefore sizes.
What can survive the journey through a black whole?
Nothing. Nothing at all, if our understanding of the mathematics is correct, or even nearly so. The very concept of "through" a black hole is an error; a black hole is a literally bottomless pit, and nothing EVER comes back out.
Is a black hole uni-dimensional?
You make my head hurt. The answer is No, but the singularity of a black hole has no dimensions. Whew..... == A black hole is something that is sometimes described as a "point concept" by physicists. That's something like a "point" in geometry. And it is dimensionless. The term "singularity" in this case does not mean "singular" or "one" or "uni" or anything like that.
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.
