that`s all the matter its sucking in. and this forms a flat disc around the black hole similar to the disc around Saturn only the disc around the black hole is spiraling in on itselfs

Why do stars of galaxy's only orbit black holes in 2 dimensions and never totally in gulf the black hole?
because the black holes that they think are at the center of galaxies most likely have rotation, and the stars around it orbit the black hole somewhat like an accretion disc.
Will you explain about the outflow from the accretion disc?
Whats an accretion disc? Accretion disc is a disc of matter that falls on the black hole. It rotates around it rapidly, heating up and emitting radiation. Jets are due to twisting magnetic fields that if there are appropriate conditions cause particles from the disc to escape along its axis, forming jets.
What is a burst of light from a black hole?
Bursts of light from black holes are the result of the accretion (or "consumption") of matter by black holes. Quasars are an example of this.
What is an accretion disc?
An accretion disc is a structure formed by matter falling into a gravitational source.
Can black holes grow and how?
Black holes can increase in mass (and therefore size; the diameter of a black hole's event horizon is directly proportional to its mass) by accretion, or taking in additional matter and/or energy.
Was the earth formed by black holes scattered throughout the galaxy?
No. Earth was formed by the accretion of material in the protoplanetary disk around the newly formed sun. Black holes were not involved.
What is a spinning disc of material that forms a solar system?
accretion disc
Why are black holes swirly?
The "swirly" part of the black hole you are referring to is called the accretion disk which consists of the matter being attracted to the black hole.
Why wouldn't an accretion disk orbiting a giant star get as hot as an accretion disk orbiting a compact object?
An accretion disk is heated by friction and compression, both of which are greater for material falling into a compact object as the material is forced into a smaller space. The hottest accretion disks would be found around black holes.
What is the OUTSIDE of the black hole called?
The very outside part of a black hole when "feeding" is called the Accretion Disc. when a black hole is not devouring a star the outside part becomes the Event Horizon.
When a..... is disturbed by an outside explosion. It may form an accretion disk?
When a nebula is disturbed by an outside explosion, it may form an accretion disc.
When a is disturbed by an outside explosion it may form a accretion disk?
When a nebula is disturbed by an outside explosion, it may form an accretion disc.
