Hurricane and Tornado are not alike because hurricane happens on water (sea) and tornado happens on land If a hurricane goes one land it weakens and dissipates

Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale based on damage with the ratings F0, F1, F2, F3 ,F4 ,and last but not least F5. Hurricane are rated by wind speed on the Saffir-Simpson scale from category 1 to Category 5.

Hurricanes are about 300 miles wide on average and last for days. Tornadoes average 50 yards wide, rarely over a miles, and never last more than a few hours. More often they last just a few minutes.

Hurricanes form in a low wind shear environment and are their own weather systems systems containing multiple convective cells.

Tornadoes from in a high wind shear environment from single convective cells (i.e. a thunderstorm).

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. A tornado is made out of wind that spirals inwards and upwards. A tornado forms from interactions between air currents. While objects can get pulled into a tornado, they are simply being blown by the wind to someplace else.

A black hole is an object, usually a burnt-out star, that has collapsed due to its own gravity. The gravity of a black hole is so strong that, beyond a certain point called the event horizon, not even light can escape. Objects that get pulled into a black hole become part of the singularity, which contains all of the black hole in a single, infinitely dense point. What falls into a black hole is trapped there forever.

Technically, black holes don't "look like" anything, since light does not escape from a black hole. The part that looks like a tornado is the super-heated gas that is being sucked into a black hole like water being sucked down a drain.

Yes, by far, although they have little to nothing in common.

Tornadoes rarely last more than and hour and at their strongest can tear apart buildings and trees.

Black holes can tear apart planets and stars. Large potions of these objects my be swallowed up forever. Material falling into a black hole forms an accretion disk. Near the even horizon infalling matter can be heated to millions or even billions of degrees and generate massive quantities of X-ray and gamma radiation. Excess matter gets ejected into jets at the poles at nearly the speed of light.

The accretion disks of the largest black holes are known as quasars and are so bright they can outshine an entire galaxy.

What does it look like to go near a black hole?

You might think it would look amazing and scary! But... no. Black holes suck in light so it is not visible.


How do astronomers search for black holes and what are the challenges of learning about them?

There are two ways of finding black holes. They can look for the effects that their gravity has on nearby objects and they can look for X-rays emitted by matter about to fall into them. A major challenge is that black holes themselves do not emit any light, making them impossible to detect directly.


How did black holes get its name?

black hole got it's name because when look at a black hole, you only see black. also if you drop an item in the black hole the item is gone because there is a hole in there. so that's how black hole get's its name


Are black holes balach?

i was doing this project for school. here was the info i found. black holes are black because no light can escape. because of that they are invisible. to see a black hole scientists use space telescopes and special tools to look at the stars. stars orbiting black holes act differently than other stars.


What are vertices in a tornado as it is spinning and what do they look like?

Suction vorticies as smaller columns of rotating air within a tornado. They have more intense winds than the rest of the tornado. The suction vortices sometimes look like "mini tornadoes" moving around inside the main circulation.

Explain about the researches on black holes?

Black holes are that stars which has passed their all life or expired star and it absorb light of sun therefore cant reflect the ligh of sun, so its look like black holes.

Is their black holes?

Yes, there is such thing as a black hole, they are very mysterious and very, very, very hard to see. But, scientists don't try to "look" for black holes, they detect them with radars that search for vibrations in space. Scientists look for these vibrations because the black holes give off this energy with gigantic force that pulls you into the center. It has so much energy and force that it vibrates. So, yes there are such things as black holes.

It would depend on the severity of the tornado.

The eye of a tornado is extremely calm and bears no resemblence to all the mayhem that the tornado causes to the outside world.
