Gravity is towards the center of the black hole. The event horizon is not what attracts objects - it is simply the "point of no return".

What is the event horizon in a black hole?

That is the "point of no return". Within the event horizon, gravity is so strong that anything that crosses the event horizon can't get out, even if it moves at the speed of light.


What do black holes have?

Gravity - Lots and LOTS of gravity. Inside the "event horizon" of the black hole, we don't have a clue. We can't see in, and no information can get out.


Does a white dwarf have a event horizon?

No, white dwarfs do not have an event horizon. Event horizons are a characteristic feature of black holes, where the gravitational pull is so strong that not even light can escape. White dwarfs are dense stellar remnants, but they do not have the extreme gravity needed to form an event horizon.


Has gravity so intence even light can not escape it?

Inside the event horizon of a black hole.


What holds up a black hole?

Nothing. Nothing holds up stars either: they float in space affected only by the gravity of other stellar objects. As for what maintains the event horizon, it is a function of the gravity of the black hole's mass -- this determines the distance of the event horizon from the center of mass (a singularity). The more mass a black hole has, the larger the diameter of the event horizon and the larger the volume enclosed within it.


How does a quasar burst away from a black hole if the black hole has infinite gravity?

It's only infinite around the event horizon.


Which of these have an event horizon giant black hole white dwarf neutron star?

A black hole has an event horizon, beyond which nothing can escape, including light. Neutron stars also have an event horizon, called the "surface" or "crust," which marks the boundary within which matter is crushed by extreme gravity. White dwarfs, being less massive, do not have an event horizon.


What is an area of space with gravity so strong that it traps light?

A black hole has gravity so heavy it traps light.


Will you die off the black hole?

If you pass the event horizon of a black hole, you will most assuredly die. You would either suffocate from a lack of oxygen, be ripped apart by the centrifugal force, you you would be crushed into an infintely small space by the immense gravity.


What is the significance of the event horizon balance beam in the study of black holes?

The event horizon balance beam is significant in the study of black holes because it helps scientists understand the concept of an event horizon, which is the point of no return around a black hole where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. By studying how objects behave on the balance beam near the event horizon, researchers can gain insights into the extreme gravitational forces at play near black holes.


Can a black hole become full?

No. When matter falls into a black hole it simply increases the black hole's mass, giving it stronger gravity and a larger event horizon.


What planet has a event horizon?

No planet has an event horizon. A black hole has an event horizon; it is the radius within which light cannot escape.
