A black hole is an area of such immense gravity that nothing—not even light—can escape from it. Black holes form at the end of some stars' lives. The energy that held the star together disappears and it collapses in on itself producing a magnificent explosion.

That refers to a black hole - but a black hole is not exactly a star.


Can a black hole get sucked up by another black hole?

That's not exactly what happens. What really happens is that they just absorb each other and become a bigger black hole.


Are black holes the strongest object in space?

That depends exactly how you interpret the term "strong". In its vicinity, the black hole distorts space more than anything that is NOT a black hole; so much that nothing can get out of the black hole. But at some standard distance, a galaxy, for example, would have more gravitational attraction than a black hole, simply because it has more mass. At least, so far no black hole of the mass of an entire galaxy has been found.That depends exactly how you interpret the term "strong".

Is a blackhole also known as a singularity?

Not exactly. The singularity is in the center of the black hole. Somewhat like a peach pit is in the center of the peach but it isn't the peach but part of it.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

Is there a such thing as white holes and if there is what happens if a black hole collides with it?

It is not known whether there actually are white holes, or whether they might exist - and if they do, exactly what properties they would have. White holes are a possible solution to the equations of Relativity, but that doesn't mean they actually exist. The problem is that they are in a way the reverse of a black hole - nothing can get OUT OF a black hole, and nothing can get INTO white hole. As a result, it seems to be impossible to destroy a black hole... But similarly, it would also be impossible to create a while hole.


What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.

Where will you go in a black hole it?

If you fall into a black hole, you'll go into the black hole and nowhere else.


What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?

In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.


What is the environment in a black hole?

Is the super massive black hole the largest black hole?

Black hole is a location in space that possesses so much gravity, nothing can escape from its pull. Yes, Super massive black hole is the largest black hole.
