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.

Usually a few million solar masses, up to several billion solar masses. Sagittarius A* (the black hole at the center of our Milky Way) is estimated to have 4-5 million solar masses; the largest known black holes have a mass of about 20 billion solar masses.

Are quasar's different from supermassive black holes?

Yes. In simplistic terms, a quasar is the result of a supermassive black hole. The gravitational attraction of the supermassive black hole on the galaxy, causes the effect of the quasar. See related questions for more information.

What is bigger a quasar or a supermassive black hole?

The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.
