They hypothesize that that is what happens when you enter the field of the event horizon.

What is it called when something goes near a black hole?
Spaghettification. This is when an object goes near a massive body such as a black hole gets pulled apart. See the links below. (Humor aside, there really isn't a specific term for such an event, other than "going near a black hole.")
Are black holes terrestrial or gas planets or something else?
Black holes are black holes - they are totally different from anything else in the universe. Most black holes are formed from the collapsed cores of dead stars. There are supermassive black holes in most galaxies, but it is no known how they formed.
What American physicist pioneered the theory of black holes in 1939?
The term "Black hole" first appeared in print in an article by reporter Ann Ewing in "Black Holes in Space" published in 1964 after a meeting of a group of scientists. John Wheeler often gets credit because he used the term in a lecture in 1967, after which the phrase entered widespread use.

What is the term to relate features to a map?
scale
What will happen when you get too close to a black hole?
You die. You will be turned into spaghetti. Spaghettification is a real term used to describe it. And it would not be at all as funny as it sounds.
What do scientists call it when the black hole sucks in things?
There is no scientific term apart from giving in to the extreme gravity near the black hole. Sometimes the funny term spaghettification is used to describe the not so funny reality that objects near a black hole or within the event horizon of a massive black hole would be stretched by tidal forces into a longer and thinner length of matter until the molecules and atoms themselves are separated. A more or less effective visual description of the fate of matter consumed by black holes.
Were did black holes get there name?

What happens at the edge of a black hole?
You are referring to the "event horizon" of a black hole. At this point, nothing, not even light, can escape the gravity of the singularity (or black hole). If you were so unlucky to be there, your body would be stretched from the part that is closest to the black hole. Eventually, your body would be one long string of atoms swirling into the black hole. This is called "spaghettification" and is an actual scientific term.
Can dark holes transfer things from one place to another?
No. And the term is "black hole," not "dark hole."

Are white holes white or black?
Not much is really known about white holes... including the question whether they exist, or even can exist. The term "white" hole has simply been used in comparison with a "black hole", which is in some ways the opposite.
What is the term for active supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies?
I believe that would be exactly the term - "active supermassive black hole". The term "active galaxy" or "active radiogalaxy" is also used for a galaxy that produces large amount of certain radiations; however, such radiation is really caused by the supermassive black hole.
What has the same mass as a black hole?
A lot of things, actually. The term 'black hole' is applied to an object whose gravitation pull is sufficiently great to prevent light from escaping. Because the magnitude of the gravitational force that one body exerts upon another is, partly, a function of the distance separating the two bodies, black holes can exist at a variety of sizes. There is, for example, a class of black holes known as 'Micro black holes.' These are objects with a radius smaller than 0.1mm (or 100 micrometers, hence the name), with a mass up to that of the Moon. Another class of black holes, called 'Stellar black holes', can have a mass up to that of the Sun, and a radius of up to 30km.
