Black holes have an enormous?
Depending on the size of the black hole, they may or may not have:* An enormous mass; * An enormous gravitational pull (depending how close you are, of course); * An enormous density (depending how you define density; if you take the volume of the event horizon, a supermassive black hole actually has less density than water).
What kind of enormous pull does the black hole have?
plain old ordinary gravity, just lots of it
How is the formation of a normal black hole different from the formation of a supper-massive black hole?
It is not yet known for sure how a supermassive black hole acquires the enormous mass it has. It is possible that it starts as a normal black hole, and then gets more mass. It is also possible that from the start, a much larger amount of mass than in a normal black hole collapses.
Why do black holes come in different sizes?
Because of their previous history. The star that converted to a black hole may have had more or less mass for a start. Also, a black hole can increase in mass when matter falls into it, so depending on the amount of matter available for the black hole, the results may vary.However, it is not yet known how the galactic black holes achieved the enormous mass they have.Because of their previous history.

Is a black hole a living organism?
No. Black holes are huge stars that have collapsed so far that their force of gravity is so enormous that even light cannot escaple. (Hence, they are 'dark' )
Are black holes made of dark matter?
No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.
Are all black holes made of dark matter?
No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.
What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?
A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

Does matter change into energy when in a black hole?
Nobody knows, but most probably the enormous gravitation of the black hole(which traps light in its core, therefore it is black from outside) breaks down every material to its very elemental pieces
Is the dust and gas found between stars called quasars?
No. The clouds of gas and dust are called nebulae. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter falling into an enormous black hole.
What does the black hole do to the star?
A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.
Why is the gravity of the black hole so large?
The gravity of an object depends on its mass, and on the distance to the object. In a black hole, the mass is concentrated in a very small space. That means that IF YOU GET VERY NEAR the black hole, the gravity will be enormous. But at any given distance, the gravity of a black hole will not be larger than the gravity of any other object of the same mass.Also, note that some black holes have a huge mass - in extreme cases, more than ten billion times the mass of the Sun. In that case, the huge gravity is due to the huge mass.
