It depends on the mass of the black hole. The size of the event horizon is directly proportional to mass. Most black holes are what we call "stellar mass" black holes which range from about 3 times to 30 times the mass of the sun. The event horizon of a 30 solar mass black hole would be about 110 miles in diameter. Earth, by comparison, is just over 7,900 miles in diameter. An intermediate mass black hole about 1,340 times the mass of the sun would have an event horizon about the same size as Earth. Astronomers have detected supermassive black holes up to 12 billion times the mass of the sun. Such a black hole would have an event horizon 44 billion miles across, or about 5 times larger than the orbit of Pluto.

Is the sun about 100 times bigger than the earth?
The Sun is about 109 times bigger in diameter than the Earth, but by volume a whole lot bigger - over 1,000,000 (Million) times bigger.NB: The values are very approximate for obvious reasons.

What is bigger a quasar or a supermassive black hole?
The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.
Is black holes bigger than galaxies?
A black hole has a much larger mass than a planet. The mass of a black hole, however, is contained in a point that is smaller than some fundamental particles. The event horizon of a typical stellar mass black hole is much smaller than any planet, but the event horizons of supermassive black holes are much larger.
How soon will humans know if the earth is in a black hole?
Never, because if we can thrive in it than we are not in a black hole
Is the sun bigger then a black hole?
Black holes can be many different sizes. Therefore, there are some black holes that are bigger than the sun, and there are some that are smaller than the sun.
What would happen if Earth's gravity was a billion times stronger than a black hole's gravity?
The earth would become a black hole.
How would you create a black hole large enough to swallow up the earth?
You'll need a star which is 5 times bigger than earth then wait until it dies. Then you get what you want.
