Of course it can - however, as the closest known black hole is about 1,600 light years from our Solar System, the chances are skim

Can Jupiter be absorbed by the black hole?

Any matter that gets close enough to a black hole can be absorbed by it. But there are no known black holes nearby - the closest known black hole is at a distance of 3000 light-years.


How far away is the black hole from mercury?

The nearest black hole to Mercury is about 1600 light years away.


What if a planet about the size of Jupiter or bigger got absorbed by a black hole?

The mass of the black hole would increase in proportion to the mass of the planet


What would happen if you shot a black hole straight though the center with a gamma ray burst?

The gamma rays would be absorbed, the black hole's mass would increase.


How does a black hole admit gamma rays?

Just like any matter, light or other electromagnetic waves (this includes gamma rays), if they happen to get within the black hole's event horizon, will just get absorbed, slightly increasing the mass of the black hole.


What happens when you smash an atom in a black hole?

When an atom is smashed in a black hole, its particles are torn apart due to the extreme gravitational forces. The subatomic particles are then absorbed into the black hole, adding to its mass and energy. The energy released during this process can contribute to the black hole's growth and power its intense gravitational pull.


What would happen to the other if one of two entangled particles were thrown into a black hole?

Your question is unclear. However current theory suggests any particles with mass would be absorbed by a black hole


Where do the things absorbed by blackhole go?

they're all crashed and squashed by the strong gravitational force in the black hole.


What happens if you explode an Atomic Bomb inside a Black Hole?

The force of the impact will still be absorbed by the black hole. By definition, a black hole is a very dense mass where no form of radiation can escape - not even light. Since no explosion is faster than light, a black hole would absorb the blast, the impact, and all forms of light and radiation that would be emitted from the bomb. If you were to watch a black hole, you would see no changes from it.


What is the impact of a black hole's gravitational pull on nearby objects and light?

A black hole's gravitational pull is extremely strong, causing nearby objects and light to be pulled towards it with great force. This can result in objects being stretched and torn apart, and light being bent or absorbed by the black hole.


What happens when a human gets sucked up into a black hole?

The same as when anything falls into a black hole: as it spirals into the event horizon, much of its matter is converted to radiaton, and the rest of it is absorbed by the black hole, adding to its mass. The fact is we don't really know. Theoretically, black holes are spatial singularities that lie at the bottom of a massive gravity well. The only thing that escapes a black hole is radiation, and we believe that is the result of the destruction of what falls in.


Are black holes made of dark matter?

No, dark matter is quite a different kind of thing. A dark hole may have absorbed some dark matter, but pressumably that would become indistinguishable from the normal matter, once it gets crushed by the enormous gravity of the black hole.
