Yes, the gravitational strength of black holes is so powerful that it can "suck in" light, even though it travels at 186,000 miles per second.

Is the Earth bigger than a Black hole?

It depends on the mass of the black hole. The size of the event horizon is directly proportional to mass. Most black holes are what we call "stellar mass" black holes which range from about 3 times to 30 times the mass of the sun. The event horizon of a 30 solar mass black hole would be about 110 miles in diameter. Earth, by comparison, is just over 7,900 miles in diameter. An intermediate mass black hole about 1,340 times the mass of the sun would have an event horizon about the same size as Earth. Astronomers have detected supermassive black holes up to 12 billion times the mass of the sun. Such a black hole would have an event horizon 44 billion miles across, or about 5 times larger than the orbit of Pluto.

How do you get light bulbs in don't starve?

Light bulbs are picked from Light flowers, which grow in caves. Find a cave by mining a sink hole.


Application of the law of gravitation to explain the formation of black holes?

Specifically for a black hole the range of gravitational influence is calculated by the "Shwarzchild Radius" and surprisingly the radius is quite small for even the biggest blackhole, If a blackhole had the mass of the earth, then the Shwarzchild radius would only be a centimeter! Meaning you would have to come with in a centimeter of the blackhole to get sucked in.

What is the area beyonda black hole where the black hole has?

black holes are a very complected mechanisms. Beyond the hole lies the centeral horizon point here is when the space forced in the black hole is draggedback to volcities the same as the speed of light which is 168282.4 miles per second when space gets sucked in at the start it gets sucked in faster than the speed of light.

Can magnetism be sucked into a black hole?

Everything that is slower than the speed of light (approximately 186,000 miles per second) gets sucked in. Since nothing is faster than the speed of light, magnetism can definitely be sucked in
