How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


Can light escape black holes?

No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.

What does it mean when light could not escape?

In the case of a black hole, the gravitational pull of the black hole is greater than the speed of light. Which means that the light is not fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.


Is it possible to escape from a black hole?

Their is no possible way you could escape a black hole. If light cant escape it, what else is possibly faster and lighter?if i may disagree the subatomic particle called a "neutrino" is faster than light and therefore could be able to surpass the speed of light and escape the gravity of a black hole.please correct me if I'm wrong my reason is based on theory


If light does not escape a black hole does it just sit there?

Light continues to circle around the 'black hole' in what is called the 'Schwartchild radius before disappearing into the event horizon'. This is how that scientists are said to find the 'black holes'; they find the bright 'circles' with a black hole in it. light cannot escape a black hole because the escape velocity (the velocity needed to escape the gravitation pull of a celestial body) of a black hole exceeds the speed of light.


Can a black hole be pink?

No, to be pink it would have to emit light and no light can escape a black hole's event horizon.


What could you do to escape the black hole?

You can't - that's the whole idea of a black hole. Don't get near a black hole in the first place.
