This depends on so many factors, including the distance of the black hole, the size of the black hole, and whether or not it is actively "consuming" nearby mass. Generally speaking, if a black hole is taking in mass, as the matter falls into the black hole it can form an accretion disk. When this occurs, the matter becomes heated by friction, resulting in the release of visible light, causing the accretion disk to become quite bright. If, however, a black hole isn't taking in matter, it will not be visible.
Black holes cannot be directly observed, regardless of whether or not they are actively taking in matter. Instead, they are determined indirectly by observing their gravitational interactions with their surroundings.

Is planet Earth going to be sucked into a black hole?
Our planet Earth will probably not spontaneously turn into a black hole under its own gravity since it lacks sufficient mass - it would need several solar masses to so collapse, and the Earth is just a tiny fraction of the mass of the Sun.
What would happen to earths gravitational attraction if the sun feel into a black hole?
If the sun abruptly was replaced with a black hole of the same mass, or if a black hole happened to wander into the solar system and consume the Sun, the Earth would respond as before with a gravitational attraction or force proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its distance. It wouldn't matter if the mass were in a black hole or in a star like the sun, no distinction would be made, so to speak. Depending on the mass of the black hole in the event in question and any momentum it contributed to the position of the Sun's mass so consumed (which total mass, again, would be preserved), the Earth's orbit and those of the other planets would be perturbed accordingly. Likely it would take a very long time for orbits to stabilize and cataclysmic effects would probably ensue if the mass and momentum change were significant, not to mention the Earth would be plunged into a perpetual night.
What would the big rip do to a black hole?
It would rip it to shreds like the rest of the universe.
What happens to rockets that go in the black hole?
When a rocket gets too close to a black hole, it would experience a phenomenon called spaghettification. The immense gravitational pull of the black hole would stretch the rocket into long, thin strands like spaghetti, ultimately tearing it apart. The remains of the rocket would be sucked into the black hole, adding to its mass.
If you had some rope the length or ten light years how long would it take a black hole to completely suck the rope in?
It depends on how much mass the black hole had. If the black hole had the mass of our Sun, it would take a long time, around a hundred million years. For a really big black hole, with a hundred million times the mass of our Sun (as is thought to exist in the centers of some galaxies), it would take about ten thousand years. One thing to remember is that at such great distances the gravity of a black hole acts like the gravity of anything else with that mass (e.g., if the Sun were magically turned into a black hole with the Sun's mass, the Earth would orbit as it always does. We'd just get cold without the Sun's radiation!). The weird effects you read about for black holes happen only very close in.
Could a black hole pass through the earth like a needle?
No. A black hole would utterly destroy Earth by the time it passed within a few thousand light years.
What would happen if a black hole passed through the earth like a needle?
Nothing, The earth would be sucked up before it even got near to the earth.
How would falling into a black hole feel like?
You would die quickly, either before, or after, falling into the black hole, depending on the mass of the black hole.

Where does the big black hole end?
The term black hole is a misnomer that implies the notion of a hole; there is no hole, so there is no end (or exit). A black hole is a spherical volume of immense density. Somewhat like the Earth, everything within its gravitational field is attracted to its essense. And just as pressure increases towards the center of Earth, the pressure increases on a more more dramatic scale towards the center of a black hole. However since the subsistence of a black hole is unknown, it might be said that the black hole ends in energy transformation.
What would traveling in a black hole be like?
Travelling into a black hole would be like an excruciating long death by torture, as the extreme gravitational forces compact and decompose the order of your mass.
Why doesn't the earth get pulled into a singularity of a black hole like Cygnus X-1?
Simply put, there are no black holes close enough to pull earth in.If you mean, why doesn't earth collapse into a black hole, the repulsion between the atoms that make up earth is strong enough to resist gravity in that regard.
Is there time in a black hole?
yes. but the intense gravity is so strong it seems to bend time so slowly some people believe that there is no time in a black hole I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT that time does exist in a black hole it is just extremely slow on another note if time did not exist in a black hole then a black hole would not suck things into it. so time does exist in a black hole.

Will light falling into a black hole accelerate Why or why not?
It would not accelerate because it does not go straight in.As it turns out ,nothing does.Everything that goes in spirals in , like water going down a drain. If space time is the tub or sink ,the black hole is the drain and the matter (in this case light)is the water,the water spirales in.It would look to an outside observer like the light is turning red. This is because it decelerates.If light sped up it would be able to escape the black hole and we would see the black hole and it would not be a black hole.
Do Black holes suck in all Matter?
No; I am not in a black hole yet.A black hole, like any other object with mass, will attract objects that are near by.No; I am not in a black hole yet.A black hole, like any other object with mass, will attract objects that are near by.No; I am not in a black hole yet.A black hole, like any other object with mass, will attract objects that are near by.No; I am not in a black hole yet.A black hole, like any other object with mass, will attract objects that are near by.
