Absolutely, planets can indeed orbit a black hole, just like how they orbit a star. Black holes have a strong gravitational pull, which means anything that gets close enough can swirl around it just like happy little planets in a cosmic dance of creativity. Just imagine the beauty of these orbits, friend - it's like painting a lovely universe full of wonder! 🌌🖌️

What is the evidence for the black hole has the most density?

Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.


What if a black hole of 5 M passed by Earth at the distance of Neptune from the sun?

In that case, the black hole's gravitational pull on Earth will be less than the Sun's gravitational pull - you can do the calculations. However, such a black hole might very well disrupt the orbit of some of the planets.


Are black holes found near planets?

Such a black hole is never found, but theoretically it should be possible. If the planets are far enough from the black hole where they circle around they will just orbit the black hole in the same way as they would orbit a star with the same mass if it would replace the black hole. But if it exists it would be very hard to detect, exoplanets are detected because of their interaction with their mother star(They block some light and have gravitational influence that can be detectable), for black holes that is not an option because they are obviously black. The planets themselves won't emit light so there is no way we can detect such a system if it exists.


Are there planets inside a black hole?

no


Can a planet orbit a black hole?

Oh, absolutely! Just picture it - a beautiful planet dancing and twirling around the mysterious, dark blob of a black hole. The gravity pulls it in close, but with the right speed and distance, that planet can orbit gracefully, creating a wondrous cosmic ballet that marvels even the most stoic of galaxies. Believe in your orbit, my friend - the universe has a way to make even the most unlikely dances look like they've been rehearsed for centuries.


What is the second closest planet to a black hole?

There are no known planets in the vicinity of a black hole.


Why isn't a quasar a planet?

Quasars are not planets because they are not spherical and do not orbit a star. A quasar is a supermassive black hole in the process of consuming large amounts of matter.


Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?

No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.


How did all the planets start?

A black hole


Can a planet orbit a black hole and why?

Yes, a planet could orbit a black hole, just like it could orbit a star. Gravity would bind them together. A planet orbiting 93 million miles from the sun feels exactly the same as if it were orbiting 93 million miles away from a black hole with the same mass as the sun has.


In How Much Years The Stars Near To Supermassive Black Hole will Orbit?

That depends how close the star is to a supermassive black hole. And how close they can be at the closest, without getting destroyed, would depend on the mass of the supermassive black hole. There are several stars that orbit Sag A* in a few years - something around 10-15 years. However, I think it is theoretically possible for a star to get even closer, and therefore orbit in less time.For information about orbits in general, take a look at Kepler's laws, especially Kepler's Third Law.


What force holds the planets and moon orbit in spiral galaxies?

Although not yet proven, it is believed that their is a massive black hole at the center of each galaxy.
