Do black holes use gravity

Yes. Black holes suck things inside. The only way to suck these things inside is by massive form of gravity. Black holes can suck in as little as a small chunk of rock, or as big as a planet.

Black holes don't "use" gravity, they are a side effect of it. To create a black hole requires a force that can grow infinitely: of the strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetic and gravity forces, only gravity is infinite in it's strength that is it is based on the masses and distances of the objects involved, it has no limit. A black hole is generated when enough mass joins together and the force of gravity generated is so strong that light can't escape it (at event horizon and lower.) In most cases for the mass to get that heavy, gravity has to bring them together in the first place (every so often high speed collisions will join masses, but it rare.) It's almost a snake biting it's tail: gravity pulls the parts together, the parts coming together increases gravity, that gravity pulls more parts .......

Most certainly, Yes indeed.

Black holes consist of an enormous mass that have imploded upon itself due to the enormous gravity at play.

It is thought that this enormous gravity totally disintegrate atoms and crush them together beyond what we would think to be possible.

This force of crushing atoms does not destroy gravity though. All mass have its own field of gravity.

As the black hole sucks in more mass, its field of gravity is strengthened, always combining powers with whatever it manages to suck in.

It is doubtful that anything of mass can escape the gravity of a black hole.

a black hole is where gravity is gone mad and has ripped a hole in space time and made a gravity pit similar the a whirlpool in the ocean stuff travels around in ever tighter circles until it falls in.most stellar black holes are compressed to such small sizes that they are point`s of infinte smallness meaby Planck sized and that`s all most unmeasurable so small

A black hole is an object for which gravity has overcome all opposing forces and crushed it to an infinitely dense point. Because the mass is concentrated in such a small area, gravity near a black hole is extremely strong. A black hole would be affected the the gravity of another object in the same way as anything else with the same mass.

In a universal way yes, but its gravity is so strong it could distort them within the event horizon.

No. Something that defies the laws of physics, by definition, cannot exist. Black holes do, however, go beyond our current understanding of phsyics.

How did blackholes get their name?

black holes have such great gravity that nothing, not even light can escape them. That is why they were named "black holes".


Black holes use suction power to pull things into them?

I can't comprehend how suction would work in a vacuum :-) Black Holes' use their gravitational force to pull matter into them.


Are black holes living organisms?

No, black holes are not living organisms, but dead stars with collapsed cores and infinite gravity.


Can you stand on black holes?

No, this is not something material like a table or a chair. Black holes are simply an area in space where gravity is infinite.


What role does gravity play in the formation of black holes?

A black hole is what is left of an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity.


How do tides affect black holes?

Given that tides are caused by gravity, and that black holes are a major SOURCE of gravity, it isn't clear that black holes would be affected at all by other gravitational sources. Of course, we can know nothing at all about whatever is inside the event horizon of a black hole.


How is gravity related to black holes?

it is said that there are black holes in space which we have discovered is true and how gravity realates to a black hole is well, a black hole is said to suck away other universes we have not discovered yet gravity pulls things to the ground and a black hole uses that same pull force to suck in universes


What can you say about black holes?

Black holes were stars that were so massive that they collapsed on itself. The gravity in black holes is infinite and more you get closer to it, more time gets slower. Black holes suck all matter that is too close. Even light can't escape Black holes.
