A black hole occurs when lots of mass is concentrated in a small space. When this happens, gravity become so strong that nothing can escape from the neighborhood of that mass - not even a ray of light. For more information, I suggest you read the Wikipedia article on "black holes", or check some YouTube videos about the same topic.

How do black holes relate to astronomy?

A black hole is an object in space. Astronomy is the study of objects in space. Therefore, black holes would be among the topics covered by astronomy.

What is the difference between a black hole and red giant in astronomy?

a red gaint is when a masize star is at the end of its life and its energy will run out and cause a supernova or will become so dense its own gravity will make it fall in on its self to become a black hole. so basicaly red gaint is a star dieing and a black hole; its already died.


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.

What is the best site to look up black holes?

Currently the best online sites for black holes are: NASA Science - Astrophysics, Hubblesite - Explore Astronomy, and schools - Wikipedia. There is also a clever demonstration/animation of Kerr black hole orbits on 3DKerrBlackHoleOrbits.


Can your sun ever turn into a black hole?

Our Sun cannot, we believe, turn into a black hole. The Sun has too little mass to undergo the supernova explosion that would crush the core of the star into a black hole. However, sometime "soon" (and in astronomy, "soon" could be anywhere within the next ten thousand years) we expect the red giant star Betegeuse to die just that way; a supernova explosion that will light up our sky like a second full moon, that will crush the core of the star into a black hole.


What machine measures the distance between us and a black hole?

There is no special machine that measures that directly. Astronomers have to observe objects known to be close to the black hole (most black holes observed are part of a binary or multiple system, simply because those are easier to detect), and use one of the usual methods used in astronomy to calculate distances.


Where will you go in a black hole it?

If you fall into a black hole, you'll go into the black hole and nowhere else.
