Gravity, the force that keeps things from flying off our planet, is also the force that prevents light from leaving a black hole.
A black hole is presumed to consist of matter so densely compacted that its gravitational force is sufficient to hold back even the highest energy particles known.

Does black holes have gravitatonal force if not then which force?
Black holes do have a gravitational force; it's so strong, in fact, that nothing - not even light - can escape from it.
Why do black holes attract light?
According to the particle theory of light, light is made us of particles called photon. Black hole has very high gravity. Its escape velocity being more than that of speed of light, light is attracted towards it and it even cannot escape by lunizah: black holes attract every thing even the light because they have a very strong attractive force and that's the reason why black holes attract light!! ^_^
How long does a black dwarf stage last?
the horizon lasts forever, so the light can stay there without escaping. ... This is also true for the dying star itself. If you attempt to witness the black
Is a black hole so massive that its gravity doen not even let escape?
No; a black hole has a gravitational force that's so strong that even light cannot escape it.
How many atmospheres or ATMs of pressure are in a black hole?
Black Holes don't have any kind of atmosphere but in pressure wise, Black Holes have infinite pressure because nothing, including light could get of the gravitation force of an black hole.
What is enormous in a black hole?
The gravity is enormous! The gravity in a black hole is high enough to stop light escaping.
What is the force that pulls light into the black hole?
gravitational force
What is black that keeps heat in?
Black absorbs heat and light because of its dark color. Light doesn't reflect off of it.
Why is gravitational force important to your universe?
As a big part, the gravitational force is what keeps us on the earth but other things make it necessary like the creation of elements in stars and light bending around objects like black holes and stars.
Why is it so dark in black holes?
If gravitational force is strong enough, light itself is affected by the gravity. The gravitational force of a black hole is so intense that light cannot escape from it. No light, nothing to see. It appears as a "black hole".
Does black holes have gravitatonal force if not then which force?
Black holes do have a gravitational force; it's so strong, in fact, that nothing - not even light - can escape from it.
Why is the sun not a black hole?
It emits light so is not "black". A "black hole" is a stellar body so massive that nothing can escape its gravity. Light actually consists of a stream of photons, so a sufficiently massive body can prevent light escaping from its surface. The sun, like most stars, is not massive, or heavy, enough to be a "black hole".
Why does the black part on a negative make a white area on photo paper?
The black part on the negative keeps light from reaching the photo paper.
Where to find the black light saber on Star Wars force unleashed psp?
there is no black light saber crystal 'cause i found them all!!♦♣♠!!
What has the greatest force of gravitational attraction?
A black hole has the greatest force of gravitational attraction. Even light rays can't escape.
How big would a black hole need to be for us to orbit it on a spacecraft at the speed of light but only experience 1 G of centrifugal force?
Just barely big enough to keep light from escaping. Then, all that needs to be figured is distance from the hole. +----------------------------------------+ First, it won't ever be possible to travel at the speed of light. That would require an infinite energy. Second, black holes come in different sizes (masses). Third, and once you decide on a mass for a black hole, at a certain speed, an object can only have a specific distance for a stable orbit - specifying a centripetal or centrifugal force is probably an "overspecification", in the sense that it may not be possible to satisfy both conditions at the same time.
What does a black hole do to you?
It basically draws you in with massive gravitational force which even light can't escape.
