The light that the Black Hole sucks up ends up in another part of the Universe . (Or at least that's what the scientists hypothesis. A black hole is not a portal, it is a star core that uses its immense gravity to pull in anything nearby. When something is pulled in, it's traped in the center and crushed under the intense gravity.

∙ 15y agoNo, a black hole will not reflect light. A black hole has such high gravity that it bends spacetime into a "hole" that light cannot get out of. Any light energy that crosses the even horizon will follow the curve of spacetime down into the black hole and cannot get back out.

∙ 8y agoThe manner in which black holes trap light is quite strange. Conventionally, it is said that a black hole's gravity is too strong anything to escape, even at the speed of light. This model is only partly true. The mass of a black hole severely distorts space and time. So much so that, within a certain radius, the only possible path is toward the center of the black hole; nothing, not even light, can move outward.

∙ 13y agoBecause they bend the fabric of space time (general realitivity) to curve the light into the blackhole, and the gravitational force within the event horizon is so great that the escape velocity is greater then the speed of light.

∙ 8y agoNot directly. Black holes themselves do not emit light since nothing can escape from within the event horizon, but if a large amount of matter falls in at once it will become extremely hot and glow brightly before disappearing.

∙ 8y agoMost of the radiation seen from a black hole (as in the case of quasars) is generated outside the event horizon - so, really, outside the black hole itself. The accretion disk - the gas and dust that surrounds the black hole - is heated up to high temperatures by friction, and that's what produces the energy.Even without surrounding matter, the black hole is also expected to emit an insignificant amount of so-called "Hawking radiation", but that is so weak that we might never be able to detect it.

What does the black hole not give off that they can't be seen?
Black holes cannot be directly observed because they do not give off any radiation (including light). Instead, they are detected based on indirect evidence, such as the effect of the black hole's gravitational interaction with it's surroundings.
What force keeps even light from escaping a black hole?
Gravity, the force that keeps things from flying off our planet, is also the force that prevents light from leaving a black hole. A black hole is presumed to consist of matter so densely compacted that its gravitational force is sufficient to hold back even the highest energy particles known.
What is the distance from a black hole to the sun?
I assume you mean our sun so that would be the center of our galaxy, approximately 50,000 - 55,000 light years.
Do black holes give off radio waves?
Black Holes don't give off radio waves. They emit X-rays. This happens rarely since the black hole's gravity is so strong that it doesn't allow photons to escape.
What happen if you get suck in a black hole?
Well if you get stuck or sucked in a black hole, you're doomed. Black holes don't suck you in, they pull you in with their immense gravitational pull. Black holes are so powerful that they can pull in light, and that can't even get out. If a human is pulled into a black hole, you would quickly start being pulled apart. Starting with your fingers would be pulled off and so on. I know this is a little disturbing. The best advice I can give you is to stay away from black holes. I know all this and I'm eleven. Hope this helps.

Why doesn't the black hole have light?
You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina. A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.
How black can black get?
Perfect black would be the inability for any light at all to reflect off the surface. A black hole is black because light cannot escape the gravitational pull.
What is the brilliant light given off by a black hole?
Its Gamma burst Ray which comes from the center of the universe.
Can a plant survive in black light?
No a plant will die and shrink because of the UV rays that the black light give off.
What is a star that gives off no light?
Probably not a star. Could be a black hole, asteroid, or other spacial object.

Can black holes be seen?
No. The gravity of a black hole is so extreme that nothing can escape, not even light. Since we humans see things based on the light that bounces off of them or radiates away from them, black holes are invisible. In fact, the only way we can detect a black hole at all is indirectly, based on its gravity.
Why are black holes different to locate?
While black holes give off radio waves, the fact that no light can escape, or be reflected off of, black holes makes them completely invisible to any regular light-capturing device.
What happen if you get suck in a black hole?
Well if you get stuck or sucked in a black hole, you're doomed. Black holes don't suck you in, they pull you in with their immense gravitational pull.
