Both stars and black holes vary is size. You probably guessed that. The smallest black holes are more massive than the smallest stars. Black holes, whose size is classified by mass, range in size from a few times the size (mass) of our sun to millions or billions (106 or 109) of times the mass of the sun. The largest stars are only a few hundred times the mass of the sun in comparison. Black holes are generally more massive, and will, therefore, have higher gravimetric fields than stars. Remember that the question asked about gravity, and gravity is all about mass. The smallest black holes are not very large while still having several times the mass of a star like our sun. A black hole a few tens of kikometers across with, say a dozen or two times the mass of our sun will meet the requisite "density" requirements for a black hole. Supermassive black holes like the ones thought to be in the center of some galaxies are the most massive objects known in the universe. Need links? You got 'em.

How do boats not sink if there is a gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull on the water beneath the boat is greater than the gravitational pull on the boat, so the water is pulled under the boat and lifts it to the surface.
Does a piece of paper exerts a greater gravitational pull than a pencil?
Yes
How does the density of an object effect its gravitational pull on other objects example when a star's density increases its gravitational pull increases on other objects?
Mass, not density, and the closeness of objects, affects an object's gravitational pull. Density is not dependent on an object's size, but mass is. The more massive an object, and/or the closer an object is to another, the greater its gravitational pull.
Why does jupiter have a stronger pull than earth?
Gravitational attraction is a result of the amount of matter there is in an object. The more mass the greater the gravitational attraction. Jupiter has far more mass than the earth hence a greater gravitational attraction.
Why does a black hole have such a stronger gravitational pull than the start that collapsed to form it?
To clarify, at the same distance, it will have the same gravitational pull - not more and not less. That's because gravity depends on distance as well as mass. Only if you get very, very close will you notice the greater gravitational pull. And it will be greater for the same reason - because gravity depends on distance and mass. In this case, the distances are very small, making the gravity very large.
When Is the gravitational pull between two objects that have greater masses?
The gravitational pull is always present: there is no "when".
Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
How do boats not sink if there is a gravitational pull?
The gravitational pull on the water beneath the boat is greater than the gravitational pull on the boat, so the water is pulled under the boat and lifts it to the surface.
What causes a bulge to be created on the opposite side of the moon?
The gravitational pull of the earth causes a bulge on the opposite side of the moon. The gravitational pull of the earth is greater than the gravitational pull of the sun.
Does the sun or earth have a stronger gravitional pull?
The sun because it has more mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull.
What has the greater gravitational pull earth sun moon or a table?
It is the sun.
What makes the tide grow?
The gravitational pull of the Moon.
What makes the tides in the ocean?
The gravitational pull of the moon.
Why do things move toward earth but not toward people?
Because Earth's gravitational pull is far greater than any gravitational pull possessed by humans..
What is the result of the mass of the object and the distance that affect the amount of gravitational force between two objects in space?
mass and distance form an inverse relationship when related to gravity. The larger the mass(es) the greater the gravitational pull. The closer the distance, the greater the gravitational pull.
What is relationship between mass and gravity?
The greater the mass the stronger the gravitational pull
Does a piece of paper exerts a greater gravitational pull than a pencil?
Yes
