By their gravitational effects.
They dont
Astronomers know because they have studied star patterns and placements and know when there has been a change between where there is a black hole and where there isn't one.
It is a tricky question because black holes are invisible, but scientists know that they are exist because black holes distort light, so it kind of change the light and also it sucks everything into it, so when scientists see stars starting to disappear, thats mean there is a black hole.

They can be seen in telescopes and instruments can measure their light, etc.

i and thats me du wahahah
to see stars and planets and other stuff in space... IDK im guessing, someone answer, i needa know plzzz
It's used to determine the magnetic field strength of stars. That's not really a "why", though. I suppose the "why" would be "because they want to know the magnetic field strength of stars".
It was like religion. Why do Christians put so much on faith?
Stars are like the bread crumbs left by the Big Bang. By studying stars scientists get to know the elements that are found in them and how are they connected to us. They also teach us the way the universe works. They illuminate the darkest secrets of the universe.
Astronomers use spectroscopy to analyze the light emitted by stars. By studying the absorption lines in a star's spectrum, astronomers can identify the elements present in its composition. Since hydrogen leaves a distinct signature in these absorption lines, scientists have found that hydrogen is the most abundant element in stars, including our Sun.
