How big is the black hole at the center of your galaxy?

The relevant quantity in this case is the mass. The mass of our galaxy's black hole is estimated to be about 4 million times the mass of the Sun. (If you want that in kilograms, look up the mass of the Sun, and multiply that by 4 million.)


Is there a black hole in the middle of are galaxy?

If you mean "our galaxy", yes. There is a black hole with a mass estimated at 4-5 million solar masses in the center of the Milky Way.


What is the estimated mass of an average flat screen computer monitor?

Why is there an average atomic mass?

There is an average atomic mass because all atoms of the same element do not have the same amount of neutrons (isotopes), therefore variations in atomic mass exist. The average atomic mass of an element is the estimated average of all the atoms of the same element, given the average of different isotopes in a scientific sample.


When did Mass Effect Galaxy happen?

Mass Effect Galaxy happened in 2009.


Where are galaxy mass black holes found in?

There is no such thing as a black hole with the mass of a galaxy. At least, none that we know of, and not if you are thinking of a large galaxy like the Milky Way. The largest known black hole has about 20 billion solar masses - which is still much less than the mass of a typical galaxy. For example, our Milky Way is estimated to have a mass of about 700 billion solar masses. However, such as massive black hole does have a mass comparable to smaller galaxies, i.e., dwarf galaxies. In any case, such huge black holes are found in the center of large galaxies.


Which has more mass the milky way galaxy or the black hole in the center of the milky way galaxy?

Good question - The black hole(s) (i.e. Sagittarius A*) at the center of the Milky Way are estimated to be a little more than 4 million solar masses (e.g. stars like our Sun). The Milky Way galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter and has been estimated to be hosting 200-400 billion stars, and at least as many planets. Therefore the answer is that the accumulated mass of the Milky Way galaxy (of course excluding its centric black hole(s)) is greater than the mass of the black hole(s) at the center of the Milky Way.


When was Mass Effect Galaxy created?

Mass Effect Galaxy was created on 2009-06-22.


Do galaxies orbit an object?

Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.


What is known about the super massive black hole in the center of your galaxy?

That it has a mass estimated at about 4 million times the mass of our Sun, and that it is currently fairly inactive. For more information, read the Wikipedia article about "Sagittarius A*". The asterisk is part of the name.


What is the most massive black hole you know of?

Some supermassive black holes - located in larger galaxies - are estimated to have approximately 20 billion times the mass of our Sun. That is more than the mass of a small galaxy - for example, more than the mass of the Small Magellanic Cloud.


Has a black hole ever been in hour galaxy?

I assume you mean "our galaxy". There is a supermassive black hole, with a mass that is about 4 million times the mass of our Sun, at the center of our galaxy.
