Black holes are not made up of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up a large portion of the universe's mass, but black holes are formed from the collapse of massive stars.


Are there black holes the size of stars?

The relevant magnitude is mainly the black holes' mass. Since black holes are the result of collapsing stars, yes, there are black holes with the mass of a star.The diameter is usually taken as the diameter of the event horizon. This diameter is directly proportional to the mass; a supermassive black hole such as Sag A* has a diameter comparable to that of a large star.


How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?

Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.
