A black hole will "suck things up" for the same reason that the Sun, or Jupiter, or Earth, "suck things up", although I would prefer the term "attracts things gravitationally". All those objects attract things thanks to their gravitational attraction - this, in turn, is related to its mass, i.e., more massive objects have a larger gravitational attraction.

Why do black holes not suck things up?

A black hole will "such things up" if such things get sufficiently close to the black hole. This is a result of its gravity. Similarly, our Sun will "suck things up" if they get too close - for example, a comet might crash onto the Sun; the comet's mass will increase the mass of the Sun. Please note that if, for example, our Sun becomes a black hole (it probably won't, since it doesn't have enough mass for that), without changing its mass in the process, the Earth will continue orbiting the black hole as it orbited the Sun before. It will NOT be "sucked up" in the process - the black hole's gravitational attraction would be the same as the Sun's attraction before becoming a black hole.

How do black hole suck up?

A black hole doesn't literally suck. A black hole pulls things closer to it. And it does this the same way that we stay on the earth--- gravity. A singularity, a point with mass but no height, width or length is at the center of every black hole. This singularity is what has the gravitational strength to pull everything, even light, towards it. It does it all with an unfathomably strong gravitational pull.

Can a black hole suck up Jupiter?

A black hole could potentially consume Jupiter if it entered the black hole's event horizon, the point of no return. However, the likelihood of Jupiter encountering a black hole and being sucked up is extremely low due to the vast distances between objects in space.

How do you get the black hole?

a black hole is a dead star that has imploded at the end of its life first it turns in to a red dwarf then implodes, into its self sucking its self and things around it in to it. Once it starts that processes it will continue to suck things up even light!,and form a doughnut shape.
