A true mathematical singularity is a point, with dimensions of zero.

A singularity is a finite mass in zero volume. If it has any length, width, height,

or radius, then it may be enormously dense, but it's not a singularity.

You're right. I don't understand it either. But that's how it works.

How large are black holes?

Theoretically they can be as large as a small star or as large as a galaxy


Where are black holes found?

Usually at the center of a galaxy or where a large star has exploded.


Will there ever be a black hole in your galaxy?

Current theories propose that there are massive black holes at the center of every large galaxy, including our Milky Way. The black hole at the center of our galaxy is thought to be Saggitarius A*.


Is there any black hole near your galaxy?

Yes, probably many of them. We believe that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy; that there are probably similar suoermassive black holes at the centers of many large galaxies.


Where are galaxy mass black holes found in?

There is no such thing as a black hole with the mass of a galaxy. At least, none that we know of, and not if you are thinking of a large galaxy like the Milky Way. The largest known black hole has about 20 billion solar masses - which is still much less than the mass of a typical galaxy. For example, our Milky Way is estimated to have a mass of about 700 billion solar masses. However, such as massive black hole does have a mass comparable to smaller galaxies, i.e., dwarf galaxies. In any case, such huge black holes are found in the center of large galaxies.


Is there black hole in glaxies?

Yes, there are. Most large galaxies, for example the Andromeda Galaxy or our own Milky way, have a supergiant black hole at their core. Now, in the arms of our galaxies there are thousands of black holes. So, yes, black holes do exist in galaxies. Theoretically, a black hole cannot form outside of a galaxy, because to form a black hole you require either one or two superstars, and superstars do not form outside of a galaxy or a cluster of stars.


What is the black-hole in the galaxy?

Almost every galaxy has a super massive black hole in its centre and this fact is widely accepted now days . Milky way galaxy also have a super massive black hole of its own, weighing more than 4 million times more than our sun's mass. Andromeda galaxy is our nearest neighbour having a super massive black hole in its centre weighing 114 million solar masses .


What were black holes before they turned into black holes?

stellar black holes were stars (these are large)primordial black holes were pieces of the big bang (these are microscopic)


Can a black hole collapse a galaxy?

While black holes can have a significant influence on their surrounding galaxies through their gravitational pull, a single black hole alone is not likely to collapse an entire galaxy. Galaxies are massive structures with billions of stars and other components that collectively contribute to their stability. However, interactions between supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies and the surrounding material can affect the evolution of galaxies over long timescales.


What does a quasar evolve into?

A quasar evolves into a galaxy as it exhausts its fuel supply of supermassive black holes at its core. Once the black hole stops accreting matter and emitting large amounts of energy, the quasar phase ends, and it becomes a mature galaxy.


What objects made the galaxy?

Black holes, stars, planets, proto-planets, large and small agglomerates (comets, meteors, interstellar dust), gas clouds.


Is there a black hole at the center of your galaxy?

Yes, there is a very large black hole at the center of our galaxy. It has a mass of about three million suns and is very far from Earth at a distance of about 24,000 light-years. Huge black holes are thought to occur naturally at the center of most large galaxies and many have already been detected. The black hole which lies at the center of our galaxy is much too far away to be of any danger to Earth.
