There is a black hole in the center of every galaxy, so i think that would be the closest one. (it is a stationary black hole, and since we are positioned at the edge of our galaxy we aren't going anywhere anytime soon)

Normally, particles can move through undistorted space in any direction, limited only by the speed of light. As you approach a black hole, light moves away from the black hole more slowly than usual and toward the black hole more quickly than usual. The event horizon is the point at which the speed of light away from the black hole becomes zero, and because no particle can move faster in that direction than the speed of light, which is zero, it would be impossible to move anything away from the black hole.
In simpler terms, if you had some kind of super awesome spacecraft that could travel literally at the speed of light, then you can get as close as you like as long as you don't reach the event horizon, even if it does take a million years to fly away from it. How close you can get to a black hole would depend on the top speed (note: not necessarily the acceleration) of your spaceship. This also only works if your super awesome spaceship could even withstand the distortions of space and overwhelming gravity and temperatures and such at that point.

Sentence for black hole?
A black hole is a type of star with excessive gravity. Here are some sentences.The star was sucked into the black hole close by.A black hole will even absorb light.The scientist is studying a black hole.
How long can someone live in a black hole?
You can't, if you call it in the black hole being inside the event horizon; that is if you mean inside the 'black' portion of the hole. If you say near the black hole, then it depends on how close and how much thrust, fuel and mass your ship has.
What is the most dangerous black hole?
None, really. At least, for us, and now. A black hole can be dangerous if it's very massive (such as a supermassive black hole). But mainly, a black hole would be completely harmless, unless it gets close - and the nearest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years. Even a supermassive black hole would be harmless at such a distance.
How fast can a black hole devour a solar system?
I seriously doubt that. the planets would have to be very very close together. The black hole would have to be a super massive one as apposed to a stellar one.
What gets sucked up in the black hole?
Essentially, anything that gets too close to a black hole can be pulled into it. This includes (but not limited to) gasses, liquids, solids, and light.
What would happen if a black hole was too close to a star in a constellation?
If a star was "too close" to a black hole, that star would be captured by the black hole's gravity and be pulled into it.
How do you get sucked in a black hole?
if you get to close
Does the earth have a black hole?
No. Earth would be destroyed if a black hole came anywhere close to it.
What will happen if something gets close to a black hole?
Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.
What happens if something gets to close to a black hole?
Objects which approach a black hole will get sucked into it.
What happens when you get near a black hole?
if you go close enough to a black hole you can get stretched to death the end
When scientists sent up rubbish into a black hole did it close it?
No rubbish has been sent into a black hole.
Sentence for black hole?

Does a black hole rip you to shreds?
If you get very close to a black hole you will get spaghettified or in another words black hole will rip you to shreds because gravity of black hole is so immense that even light can't escaped from it .
What is the black hole doing?
They just sit - and "eat" anything that comes too close.
Is any black hole is near to earth?
There is a black hole close to Earth, yes. It is 1,600 light years away.
What happens when something gets too close to a black hole?
It will fall into the black hole. The same happens if something gets too close the Sun, for example - it will fall into the Sun.
