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


What are objects from which light can not escape because of a gravitational pull at its surface?

A black hole. However, it does not have a surface but an event horizon.


How does light calculate in a black hole?

I am not aware of light calculating anything in a black hole.


What is a black hole quasar?

A quasar forms when huge amounts of matter fall into a supermassive black hole. As the matter gets close it is heated to temperatures so hot that atoms fall apart and emits intense radiation. What doesn't crosss the event horizon is ejected in jets at the black hole's poles at nearly the speed of light.


Why are black hole?

A black hole is called a black hole because due to its density and therefore intense gravity, nothing, not even light, can escape it. Though it has extreme mass, it is not a light source, and it will not reflect any light, so it appears as a "black hole" in the universe.As a black hole has massive gravity, light from objects behind it will "bend" around the black hole and an observer will see what is called gravitational lensing. The effect of the lensing will be greatly pronounced because a black hole deforms space-time dramatically. A black hole is a point in space where something is, but because the "thing" that is there generates extreme gravity, it will not be visible under any conditions. It was natural to apply the term black hole to this phenomenon.Because, the huge gravitational forces inside the black hole ensure nothing - not even light - can escape.

Why can't you see a blackhole?

A black hole emits no light.


Which objects in space emits no light?

black hole as they have a very powerful gravitational pull such that even light could not escape its gravity and fall into it


Why is the sun not a black hole?

It emits light so is not "black". A "black hole" is a stellar body so massive that nothing can escape its gravity. Light actually consists of a stream of photons, so a sufficiently massive body can prevent light escaping from its surface. The sun, like most stars, is not massive, or heavy, enough to be a "black hole".


Can the speed of light escape a black hole?

No, the speed of light cannot escape a black hole because the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that even light cannot escape it.


Did anyone observe black hole dazzling light?

Observing a dazzling light from a black hole is impossible because anything cannot come out of black hole once after entering it's event horizon (even light) because black hole very very very strong gravitational field.


What is a star in which light cannot escape because of the immense gravitational pull at its surface called?

A star in which light cannot escape because of its immense gravitational pull at its surface is called a black hole.


Why did black hole lose their light?

Because black holes are of such density that even light can no escape them, they don't radiate any light and are black.


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


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.


Why is locating black hole difficult?

Black holes are hard to find as they are invisible. This is because the escape velocity is faster than the speed of light. The escape velocity is the speed required to escape a black hole, if it is faster than light, the light can not escape therefore making them invisible. Hope this helps....

A black hole. However, it does not have a surface but an event horizon.


Why can't light escape a black hole?

Light cannot escape a black hole because the gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that it traps everything, including light, within its boundary called the event horizon. This means that once light crosses the event horizon, it cannot escape the black hole's intense gravitational force.
