Black holes do not suck things in. Objects fall in through gravity; the same force that makes things fall on Earth, only much stronger. Gravity is so strong because a very large mass, at least several times the mass of the sun, is compacted into a tiny area. At great distances of millions of miles or more the gravitational effects are no different from those of a large star. It is only when you get within a few thousand miles of the black hole that the extreme gravity starts to have strange effects.

Can a black hole suck up Jupiter?

A black hole could potentially consume Jupiter if it entered the black hole's event horizon, the point of no return. However, the likelihood of Jupiter encountering a black hole and being sucked up is extremely low due to the vast distances between objects in space.


Can the moon be sucked up by the black hole?

Yes, everything can be sucked in to a black hole, even light


Picture of a black hole?

Well you could try google images, but other wise there is no actual real footage or pictures of any black hole because the gravitational pull of a black hole is so powerful that it can even suck up light!


Does density of black hole increases?

A black hole isn't a hole in the sense that it is a "drain" that funnels things out of the universe. Think of it more as a trash compactor. Everything a black hole sucks in contributes to the mass of the black hole and sits there at a impossibly small focus called a singularity. However, with the evidence of hawking radiation, (small particles that escape a black hole's event horizon periodically). It is now understoon that black holes have a "memory" of everything they've eaten. For example, if a black hole were to suck you up, your matter wouldn't disappear. Over the course of trillions of years, you would be spat out, particle by particle. So black holes will increase in density until there is nothing left to suck up around them, and then in an incredibly slow process (trillions and trillions of years) a black hole will lose density particle at a time until it is completely evaporated!


Is there anything black holes can't suck up?

There are hypotheses about so called 'virtual particles' that may travel faster than speed of light, and hence are not sucked up by Black Holes. Also, Black Holes cannot suck another bigger Black Hole, when they meet a bigger one, they get sucked up rather.

Do black hole suck the sun?

In theory, yes, a black hole could suck up the sun.


How does a black hole suck up other planents?

Black holes are basically highly compressed massive (has lots of mass) parts of space. The large amount of mass warps the space time around the black hole which causes intense gravity that suck everything in.


Is it possible that there is a tiny black hole in the center of Bermuda triangle?

It is scientifically impossible to have a black hole in any parts of the Earth. If there was one, means that the tiny black hole would suck up everything, even time and even the moon.


Does the Milky Way black hole suck stuff up?

Yes, all black holes 'suck stuff up'.


How do black hole suck up?

A black hole doesn't literally suck. A black hole pulls things closer to it. And it does this the same way that we stay on the earth--- gravity. A singularity, a point with mass but no height, width or length is at the center of every black hole. This singularity is what has the gravitational strength to pull everything, even light, towards it. It does it all with an unfathomably strong gravitational pull.


Can a black hole suck somebody up?

yes, yes it can


Could you cover the black hole?

i doubt it because it sucks in everything and it covers light. it could suck in the sun with ease. it itself is a star that has blown up. the star has to be realy big to become a black hole


Is it possible for a black hole to suck up a white hole?

Since whit holes only exist mathematically, a black hole could not pull in a white hole.


Can one black hole suck up another one?

Yes, it is possible for a black hole to capture another one and "swallow" it.
