In terms of astronomical objects, most black holes are quite small. The event horizons of stellar mass black holes, the most common type, would range from about 10 to 100 miles in diameter, which works out to a volume of 500 to 500,000 cubic miles. Compacting such a large mass into a comparatively tiny volume is precisely why black holes have such strong gravity.

What has mass but no volume?
a black hole
What is another name for dead stars?
If it was not a huge star, it will probably become a black dwarf. If it was a huge star, there is a chance of it becoming a black hole.
The center of a black hole is called a?
The center of a black hole, a locus of infinite density where matter is compressed into zero volume, is called a 'singularity.'
What state of matter that has a definite shape and infinite volume?
a black hole
What do you call the center of a black hole?
The center of a black hole is called a singularity, where a huge amount of matter is crushed into a single point. That's scary, isn't it?
What has mass but no volume?
a black hole
What bright Galaxy has a black hole in its center?
It seems that just about EVERY galaxy has a huge ("supermassive") black hole in its center.
What do black holes result from?
Usually from the collapse of a massive star. It isn't quite clear how a supermassive black hole is created; it is possible that it also starts as a stellar black hole (a hole resulting from the collapse of a star), but it isn't quite clear how such a black hole can get so huge in a relatively short time.Usually from the collapse of a massive star.

Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?
The extent of gravity near a black hole is terriifically huge - so huge that even particles of light are drawn into it. If the light particles are drawn into the black hole, they obviously cannot radiate outward so that we could see them.
What is interesting about a black hole?
I has infinite mass but zero volume.
What is more dense black hole or star?
A black hole is more dense. In principle, the black hole exists all at one point. So its volume is zero, and its density is infinite.

Is the Milky Way much smaller than the black hole?
No - The volume of the Milky Way galaxy is larger than the volume of its host black hole. The accumulated mass of the Milky Way galaxy is greater than the mass of its host black hole. The density of the Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the density of its host black hole.

Is the density of a neutron greater than the density of a black hole?
no, a neutron has a finite volume and thus a finite density, the singularity of a black hole has zero volume and thus infinite density.Infinity >>>>> any finite value
