A black hole is an object usually a star that has collapsed into a small object of extremely high mass. This creates enormous gravitational forces from which nothing can escape even light. Stars, however, are balls of hydrogen fusing into helium and planets are balls of space dust that has coalesced into a ball of rock or gas.
What else can I help you with?
What other things are there in the Milky Way Galaxy besides planets?
pluto,asteroids,stars,comets and dwarf planets Stars, gas, black holes.
Can you name 5 different categories of celestial that make up our solar system?
Five I can name are: asteroids, planets, black holes, moons, and stars.
What is a black hole for children?
Black Holes are space vacuum cleaner, it sucks everything into it; planets, stars, galaxy, even light. Black holes are invisible, but we know that it exists because it distort light and stars disappearing.
What is the purpose of the holes?
Actually, the purpose of black holes is to absorb matter and spew it out into the universe to seed new galaxies, stars, planets and things. Black holes are the "cleaners" of the galaxy, in my opinion.
Is the stuff between the stars mostly nothingness?
yes, there are the nebulae, black holes, and planets, but mostly the space in between the stars is nothingness
Why do people think that black holes destroy what goes into it?
Because planets and stars have went into them and got destroyed.
What objects made the galaxy?
Black holes, stars, planets, proto-planets, large and small agglomerates (comets, meteors, interstellar dust), gas clouds.
How do you study Astronomy?
By studying stars, planets, moons, black holes, nebulae, asteroids, comets, and everything else in space.
If nobody has ever seen a black hole how do you know what they do?
People know what black holes can do because of the aftermath. Stars and planets have been completely destroyed.
Are dead stars black holes?
Dead stars are not necessarily black holes. Dead stars can become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass. Only the most massive dead stars can collapse further to become black holes if they exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, around 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.
Can black holes kill planets?
Black holes do not actively seek out planets to destroy. However, if a planet were to get too close to a black hole, the intense gravitational forces could disrupt or even pull the planet into the black hole. So, in that sense, a black hole has the potential to "kill" a planet by tearing it apart.
Which stars primarily end up as black holes?
The most massive stars become black holes.
