Yes. Any collision of a black hole with another object would change its velocity and therefore its orbit. But massive black holes orbiting each other, especially if they are in a close orbit, will also lose orbital energy through gravitational waves, and therefore get closer and closer until they eventually collide.

Can planets orbit a black hole?

Absolutely, planets can indeed orbit a black hole, just like how they orbit a star. Black holes have a strong gravitational pull, which means anything that gets close enough can swirl around it just like happy little planets in a cosmic dance of creativity. Just imagine the beauty of these orbits, friend - it's like painting a lovely universe full of wonder! 🌌🖌️


Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?

No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.


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.


Is there a Hyper black hole?

Define a "hyper black hole". A "Hyper Black Hole" is a massive "Black hole" thought to be created by many Black holes merging together. Theological Physics now believe that most galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have a "Hyper Black Hole" in the center


Where can objects orbit within black holes?

By "within" a black hole, I would imagine you mean within the event horizon. Such an object won't ORBIT the black hole - it will simply fall towards the singularity.


What if the earth become a black hole what would happen to the moon orbit?

If the Earth magically became a black hole, the moon and other satellites in orbit around Earth, would be literally ripped apart into tiny bits and swallowed by the black hole.


Does the sun travel around a black hole?

Yes, The sun and the solar system orbit the center of the galaxy where there is a black hole.


Can you orbit a black hole?

Yes. We're currently orbiting a super-massive black hole located in the center of our galaxy.


How fast do you have to go to escape a black hole you have to ride 2000 miles per hour to escape?

How far you have to move to remain in orbit around a black hole, or to escape it, depends on the distance from the black hole, as well as the black hole's mass.


Why do stars orbit black holes and not the other way around?

Let's say a star with four times the mass of the Sun orbits the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way (with a mass estimated at 4 million times the mass of the Sun). For simplicity, let's also assume that no other objects are near. To be completely accurate, the star and the black hole would orbit their common center of mass. However, since the black hole in this example is a million times more massive than the star, its change in position would be a million times less. Thus, it would commonly be stated that the star orbits the black hole. Similarly, in our Solar System (and ignoring other planets), Jupiter and the Sun orbit their common center of mass - but the Sun has 1000 times the mass of Jupiter, so Jupiter moves 1000 times as much as the Sun. Let's take another example, a binary system made up of a stellar-mass black hole (4 solar masses), and a regular star (also 4 solar masses). In this case, the orbit of both the star and the black hole would be the same - both would move the same amount.


Did black hole creats another star?

A black hole does not create a star. A black hole is formed when a star dies.


Do the stars orbit around earth?

They don't specifically orbit the black hole. Stars orbit the Milky Way because in general, they are attracted to the other masses in the Milky Way. The supermassive black hole is only a tiny fraction of the total mass of the Milky Way. Well, you might say that they move around the black hole, but that's only because it happens to be there. Without they black hole, they would move around the center of the Milky Way anyway.
