The quasar is bigger. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter that surrounds a supermassive black hole. The mass of the black hole may be greater than that of the disk, but it is compacted into a smaller space.

Is a quasar bigger than a massive black hole?
Yes. A quasar is a disk of superheated material that sour rounds a supermassive black hole.
What is at center of a quasar?
A Supermassive black hole .
What is bigger a quasar or a black hole?
It depends, Black holes can go from being microscopic to supermassive black holes that entire galaxies revolve around. It all depends on which black hole and which quasar.
Are quasar's different from supermassive black holes?
Yes. In simplistic terms, a quasar is the result of a supermassive black hole. The gravitational attraction of the supermassive black hole on the galaxy, causes the effect of the quasar. See related questions for more information.
Do supermassive black holes swallow quasars?
No, a supermassive black hole is what makes a quasar.
How does a quasar work?
A quasar is believed to have a supermassive black hole at its center. The radiation is emitted outside the black hole's event horizon - from matter that is falling into the black hole.
Is the biggest quasar able to destroy the biggest supermassive black hole?
Yes. Hypergiant stars are very large but also have very low densities. The radiation pressure from a quasar is enough to destroy such a star.
What is the most distant black hole in center of a quasar cal led as?
Quasars have a large black hole, called a "supermassive black hole". The term "supermassive black hole" simply means that it has millions or even billions of solar masses.
Why isn't a quasar a planet?
Quasars are not planets because they are not spherical and do not orbit a star. A quasar is a supermassive black hole in the process of consuming large amounts of matter.
How do quasars regulate the growth of black holes?
A quasar is a disk of superheated material falling into a supermassive black hole. The radiation from a quasar is so intense that it actually pushes matter away from the black hole, preventing it from falling in. This process limits how fast a black hole can grow.
Are quasars black holes?
A quasi-stellar radio source (quasar) is a powerfully energetic and distant galaxy with an active galactic nucleus which most probably houses a supermassive black hole.Not quite. A quasar is believed to be a disk of superheated matter that is about to fall into a supermassive black hole.
What is a length of a quasar?
The diameter of a quasar is a few light-hours or a few light-days. A quasar consists of the immediate surroundings of a supermassive black hole.
