Light is energy without a rest mass -
but it does have a mass equivalent due to the energy it contains.
A black hole warps the space around itself, thus causing "light rays" to be bent toward it.

Why is light attracted to a black hole?
Light is not only attracted to a black hole, in fact, its attracted to you, to me and to everything made of matter in the universe. The problem is that light is affected by gravity, and the black holes have so much that light significantly change trajectory or the black holes absorb the photons
What is attracted to black holes?
the gravity from a black hole is so strong, its pulls in everything, and not even light can escape
What thing is in black hole?
A black hole has nothing in it and nothing can escape, not even light. Everything is just sucked in towards it where it is compressed and crushed. Nothing is in a black hole.
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 does light calculate in a black hole?
I am not aware of light calculating anything in a black hole.

Where does the big black hole end?
The term black hole is a misnomer that implies the notion of a hole; there is no hole, so there is no end (or exit). A black hole is a spherical volume of immense density. Somewhat like the Earth, everything within its gravitational field is attracted to its essense. And just as pressure increases towards the center of Earth, the pressure increases on a more more dramatic scale towards the center of a black hole. However since the subsistence of a black hole is unknown, it might be said that the black hole ends in energy transformation.

Does light has mass and takes up space?
Do you know why can't we see a black hole even in the reflection of the light of the near stars? It is because the gravitational pull of a black hole is too much it attracts and traps the Photon particles(particles of light) and does'nt allow it to escape and reach our eyes. We know that Force= Mass*Acceleration.So if the mass of Photon particles is 0 unit, force applied on the Photon particles will be 0 unit, which directly means that no force is applied on the Photon particles. Thus if no force is applied the Photon particles then they will be not attracted towards the black hole. But in reality it is attracted, this suggests that light has mass. And if light has mass it will also take space.
Why can't objects come out from the black hole?
Within the so-called event horizon, space and time around the black hole are distored in such a way that the only way a ray of light (for example) can move is closer towards the black hole's center.

What is the brilliant light coming from a black hole?
if there is light surrounding a black hole it is normally from material entering into the event horizon of the black hole.
Can you make light circular?
Only around a black hole. There is a sphere around every black hole where light orbits the black hole.
A black hole attracts light- but to be attracted by something- the attracted subject needs mass too- so does light have mass?
Yes, Light has mass because E=hf= mc^2 thus mass m=hf/c^2=h/cw.
If light can be pulled into a black hole that suggests mass What is the weight per square meter?
light has no mass and therefore no weight. Light cannot be "pulled" into a black hole. The escape velocity from a black hole is greater than the speed of light, so no light can escape from a black hole. Spacetime in the vicinity of a black hole is greatly distorted by the hole's gravity, and light may travel along curved geodesics that intersect the black hole. But it is not pulled in.
