Best Answer

We don't have a clue. The nearest black hole to the Earth is a long way away, and we believe that very massive - SUPER-massive - black holes may exist at the centers of many galaxies. How large they might be is entirely speculative. The sizes of black holes are generally estimated by mass, not by distance; "100,000 solar masses", for example.

* Added - The name of the largest known black hole is OJ 287 with a mass estimated at 18 billion solar masses.

Why is the term black hole appropriate?

The term 'black hole' is particularly appropriate in its application to the astrophysical phenomenon of the same name due to the property of the escape velocity exceeding the speed of light. This means that no light or matter escapes a black hole.
