According to the general theory of relativity, gravity does not attract; instead gravity bends spacetime. Objects always follow locally straight lines of motion, but in bent spacetime a locally straight line of motion is not globally straight, instead it is globally bent. Thus it does not matter if an object passing near a black hole has mass or not, its path will bend toward the black hole.

Note: do not confuse mass and weight. In free fall all objects, whether they have mass or not, have no weight.

What is attracted to black holes?

the gravity from a black hole is so strong, its pulls in everything, and not even light can escape


Are moths attracted to light?

Yes, moths are often attracted to light. This behavior is known as phototaxis, where moths use natural light sources for navigation. Artificial lights can sometimes confuse them and lead them to fly towards the light source, possibly disrupting their normal activities.


Why do black holes attract light?

According to the particle theory of light, light is made us of particles called photon. Black hole has very high gravity. Its escape velocity being more than that of speed of light, light is attracted towards it and it even cannot escape by lunizah: black holes attract every thing even the light because they have a very strong attractive force and that's the reason why black holes attract light!! ^_^


Why did black hole lose their light?

Because black holes are of such density that even light can no escape them, they don't radiate any light and are black.


Can light escape black holes?

No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.


Can wind escape a black hole?

No! Not even light can escape the black hole!

Why can't light escape from a black hole?

What cannot escape from a black hole?

Nothing can escape a black hole, not even light.


How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


How do black holes gain weight over the course of a lifetime?

Black holes gain mass by pulling matter into them. The mass of anything that falls into a black hole gets added to its mass. Even energy in the form of light and other electromagnetic radiation can add to a black hole's mass.


Can the speed of light escape a black hole?

No, the speed of light cannot escape a black hole because the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that even light cannot escape it.
