This question can be answered differently deending on the part of the black hole that you are talking about and some parts will change based on the mass of the star that made it. Basically the black hole can be separated into two parts: the singularity and the event horizon. The event horizon is the area of the black hole in which nothing, not even light or time, can escape. The event horizon is a gravitational boundary and its size depends on the mass of the black hole. The singularity is the only part that actually exists as matter and it is often though of as having a volume of zero unless you are reffering to quantum mechanics in which it has a volume smaller than the volume of an atomic nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
Can a black hole be as big as a human?
Technically yes, realistically, probably not. The best measure of the size of a black hole is the size of the event horizon. That we know of, black holes fall into two general categories: stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes. The diameter of the event horizon is directly proportional to the mass. Stellar mass black holes range in mass from about 3 to 30 times the mass of the sun, with diameters several miles to several tens of miles. Supermassive black holes are millions to billions times the mass of the sun and are millions to billions of miles across. A black hole with roughly the mass of Saturn would have an event horizon about as wide as an adult human is tall, but there is no known way for an object of that mass to become a black hole.
How big is the event horizon of a 100 solar mass blck hole?
The event horizon of a black hole is directly related to its mass. For a 100 solar mass black hole, the event horizon radius would be about 295 kilometers (183 miles). This is the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the black hole's gravitational pull.
How big do event horizons get?
Assuming you mean the event horizon of a black hole (there are other types as well), the diameter of a black hole as measured by its event horizon is directly proportional to its mass. The larger the mass, the larger the diameter. Thus, as a black hole's mass increases, it will get bigger. The only limitation is how much mass a black hole is able to incorporate from its surroundings.
How big is the event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole?
The event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole is about 295 kilometers in radius. It represents the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
What is a super-massive black hole?
A supermassive black hole is a black hole with a very large mass, millions to billions times the mass of the sun. The supermassive black hole in our galaxy is about 4 million times the mass of the sun.
Can a black hole be as big as a human?

How big is a black hole and what factors determine its size?
A black hole's size is determined by its mass, which is the amount of matter it contains. The more mass a black hole has, the larger its size. The size of a black hole is typically measured by its event horizon, which is the point of no return where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. The event horizon's size is directly related to the mass of the black hole.
Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?
Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.
What are the types of stars a high mass star can become after it goes supernova?
Once a high mass star goes supernova, it doesn't become any other type of star - it becomes a pile of enormously dense stellar ash, or if it was big enough to begin with, it becomes a black hole.
How big is the black hole at the center of your galaxy?
The relevant quantity in this case is the mass. The mass of our galaxy's black hole is estimated to be about 4 million times the mass of the Sun. (If you want that in kilograms, look up the mass of the Sun, and multiply that by 4 million.)
How big is the event horizon of a 100 solar mass blck hole?
The event horizon of a black hole is directly related to its mass. For a 100 solar mass black hole, the event horizon radius would be about 295 kilometers (183 miles). This is the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the black hole's gravitational pull.
How big do event horizons get?

The larger the mass, the larger the diameter. Thus, as a black hole's mass increases, it will get bigger. The only limitation is how much mass a black hole is able to incorporate from its surroundings.
Is there any chance of life in a black hole?
stellar black holes, no none at allhawking black holes, no none at allsuper massive black holes at galactic centers, no none at alluniversal black holes, yes we are an example, if the entire universe is indeed inside an ultra massive black hole as would be suggested by the combination of big bang theory and black hole theory
Why do stellar masses result in black holes?
The only known mechanism to produce a black hole is the gravitational collapse of an object that has at least 2-3 times the mass of our Sun. However, it is considered possible that the enormous densities right after the Big Bang may have resulted in some black holes; for more information, read about "primordial black holes".
How big is the event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole?
The event horizon of a 100-solar-mass black hole is about 295 kilometers in radius. It represents the point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
What is a super-massive black hole?
A supermassive black hole is a black hole with a very large mass, millions to billions times the mass of the sun. The supermassive black hole in our galaxy is about 4 million times the mass of the sun.
Can a black hole destory the galaxy?
No. No black hole is big enough to do that.
