pluto...but don't put your trust on this question cause i don;t think its a planet anymore... =)
The nearest black holes we know about are light-years away, so it makes hardly any difference what planet you are on.

∙ 13y agoWell, nobody knows where actually is a blackhole. They are noticed when celestial bodies start revolving around something which can't be seen ! Maybe one is just coming towards our solar system ! Moreover scientists say that there is a supermassive blackhole present at the centre of our galaxy.

(john here) actually, we don't know what is in the centre of Andromeda. That there is a black hole there is conjecture.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe closest known black hole is several thousand light-years away (no reason to worry, then). However, there may be black holes much nearer to us, which have not been discovered yet.

∙ 12y agoThe closest one we know about is called "Cygnus X-1" meaning that was the first X-ray source discovered within the constellation of Cygnus, the Swan.

What are black holes like in science fiction movies?
Black holes in science fiction movies are giant, black holes that rotate like a circular saws inwards.
What is the relationship between black holes and quasars?
The things that we observe as quasars are believed to be caused by huge black holes.
How does a black holes acquire greatest mass?
Most black holes are stellar mass black holes with masses comparable to those of large stars as they form from the collapse of massive stars. Scientists know of the existence of supermassive black holes that are millions to billions of times the mass of our sun and can be found in the centers of most galaxies. Scientists still do not know how these black holes become so massive.
I have heard that black holes create a b flat 57 octaves below middle c is this true. is it just supermassive black holes and is there any other note discovered lower than this?
See link below indicating that black holes do hum at a frequency calculated to be B flat, 57 octaves below middle c. The conclusion may technically be accurate, but it really has no meaning on a practical level. The gases around a black hole are on average extremely thin, and even if this sound is generated on earth at stp no human, and probably no living creature of any kind would be able to come close to "hearing" it. If there is no possibility that it can ever be heard, is it correct to call it sound? After all, not all electromagnetic radiation is called 'light'.
What band of radiation is best for studying black holes?
X-rays are the best band for studying black holes as the radiations emitted by the black hole is X-rays so we can expect the presence of a black hole anywhere in the Universe.
Are black holes dangerous to people?
Black holes could be dangerous to people if people were close to a black hole, but there are no black holes near the planet Earth (as far as we know) and the closest one is probably in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which is about 80,000 light years from Earth, which is a safe distance.
What do black holes emit that could allow them to be detected from the earth?
Black holes does emit radiation, but they cannot be detected from earth. We use gravitational lensing to "see" the black holes.
Can you avoid black holes?
No. If you get to close, you are out of luck!
Earth is going to go in the black hole?
No. There are no known black holes that would threaten Earth and the chances of one coming anywhere close even in the next few billion years are extraordinarily small.
Why the earth is not the center of the milky way?
Earth is a planet. Center's of galaxies sometimes contain black holes. Planets can't be black holes.
Would we get sucked in if black holes are close?
Yes
How do scientists get close enough to research a black hole?
Since the nearest black hole is many light years away from Earth, it's impossible for a scientist to physically travel to a black hole to study it. Instead, they have to make do with observing the effects of black holes from Earth.
What can you say about black holes?
Black holes were stars that were so massive that they collapsed on itself. The gravity in black holes is infinite and more you get closer to it, more time gets slower. Black holes suck all matter that is too close. Even light can't escape Black holes.
What would happen to earth if it went through a black hole?
Black Holes are nowhere near earth, but if we do get close enough it will first rip us apart or if it's gravatational pull isn't that much then we would just get crushed?
Can you reach a black hole?
No, we don't know of any black holes close enough to get to.
Are black holes in space?
Yes, that's where they are. A black hole on Earth would utterly destroy the Earth, in a very short time.The existence of black holes is now generally accepted, by the way.
Is there any black-hole on your earth?
No - at least no black holes as defined by physics.
