Do black holes have stronger gravitational pull than the sun?

Answer 1

If the black hole has the same mass as the sun, and if an object is located at an identical distance from it, the force of gravity acting on that object will be the same. The surface gravityof a black hole, however, is a lot stronger than that of a normal star (including our sun), simply because all of it's mass has been compressed into an infinity small point.

Answer 2

Yes. The strength of gravity of a black hole depends on its mass. Current models suggest that the smallest stellar mass black holes are about 3 times more massive than the sun. Anything less massive would not be able to collapse all the way. Such a black hole would exert 3 times the gravitational pull that the sun would at the same distance. That said, if the sun were somehow compressed into a black hole the gravity for objects outside of it would not change.

Answer 3

A black hole with the same mass as the sun will have the same gravitational pull on an object located at the same distance away from it. The surface gravity of a black hole, however, is significantly greater than that of the sun.

If the black hole has the same mass as the sun (which is equal to about 1.989x1030 kg), it will have a surface gravity equal to 1.521×1013 m/s2. The sun, on the other hand, has a surface gravity that is equal to 273.95 m/s2. Comparing the two, you can see that the black hole would have a surface gravity that's 55,000,000,000x (55 billion times) greater than that of the sun.

Answer 4

It doesn't. At least, not from the same distance from the center.

The trouble is that a star which is 2 million miles or more in diameter can collapse into a black hole whose "event horizon" is only a few miles in diameter. ALL of the gravity of the large star is collapsed into a point, as black holes have no theoretical size. So if you could approach the event horizon, instead of being several million miles from the center of the star, you could be a dozen miles or less from the center of the black hole, and the strength of the gravitational force is dependent on the inverse square of the distance; get to 1/100th of the distance, and you feel 100^2, or 10000 times more gravitational force.

Answer 5

Yes, black holes have stronger gravitational pull than the Sun. The intense gravitational pull of a black hole is so strong that not even light can escape from its grasp, hence the name "black hole". The gravity of a black hole is determined by its mass and density, both of which are much greater than that of the Sun.

Answer 6

Yes. In fact, the gravity of a black hole is so strong that it even pulls in light!
