How much gravitational pull does the black hole at the center of our galaxy have on earth to keep it in orbit around it?
We can do a quick calculation using Newtonian gravity (which is sufficient here since we are far away from the black hole). We do need some data:
-The distance between the Sun and the centre of our Galaxy is 2.5 x 10^20 meters. Since the distance between the Earth and Sun is completely negligible at this scale we can use this as the distance between the Earth and the black hole.
-The mass of the Earth is about 6 x 10^24 kilograms.
-The mass of the central black hole is about 8 x 10^36 kilograms.
We can now use the following formula:
F = G * m_earth * m_black_hole / distance^2
Where G is some constant named the gravitational constant. If we use this formula we arise at a force of about 7.7 x 10^20 Newtons. This is the force the black hole exerts on the Earth, and it is also the force the Earth exerts on the black hole.

What has the strongest gravitational filed?
The largest black hole has the strongest gravitational field. We do not know where that would be, but it is most likely in the center of a galaxy somewhere in the universe.
Which galaxy arms extend from a core full of black holes?
The Milky Way appears to have a huge (even for a black hole) gravitational object at the center of it, and this is supposed by a lot of scientists to be a black hole. The arms of our galaxy sweep around the center.
Is hour world going to the center of the galaxy or what is the same black hole?
We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy. This is not much different from the Earth going in an orbit around the Sun. The black hole at the center doesn't change anything; it is just one object more that has some mass - an insignificant amount of mass, compared to the remainder of the galaxy.We (our Solar System) are going around the center of the galaxy; we are in orbit around the galaxy.

When will the black hole in the center of the galaxy swallow Earth up?
The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is roughly 26,000 light-years away from Earth and poses no immediate threat to our planet. Its gravitational effects on Earth are negligible. Earth is not expected to be swallowed by the black hole in the foreseeable future.
Will Earth ever fall into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?
No, Earth will not fall into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The black hole is located about 26,000 light-years away from Earth, and our solar system is orbiting it at a safe distance. The gravitational pull from the black hole is not strong enough to pull Earth into it.
How did other galaxies attain black holes at the center?
intense gravitational pull caused the galaxy to form around the black hole
Do galaxies orbit around a central point?
Yes, galaxies can orbit around a central point, such as a supermassive black hole located at the center of a galaxy. This motion is influenced by the gravitational forces within the galaxy.
What has the strongest gravitational?
The largest black hole has the strongest gravitational field. We do not know where that would be, but it is most likely in the center of a galaxy somewhere in the universe.
Are black holes present in the center of every galaxy?
Black holes are not present in the center of every galaxy, but many galaxies, including our own Milky Way, have a supermassive black hole at their center. These black holes have a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape from them.
Does the sun orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy?
No, the sun does not orbit a black hole in the center of our galaxy. The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
Why does the Milky Way Galaxy rotate around its center?
The rotation of the Milky Way is the result of the gravitational pull of a giant (supermassive) black hole at its center. Use the links below for more information.
What is the orbital speed of the sun?
The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way galaxy at an average speed of about 450,000 miles per hour (720,000 kilometers per hour). This orbital speed is influenced by the gravitational pull of the galaxy's massive black hole at the center, as well as the gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies in the galaxy.
What has the strongest gravitational filed?
The largest black hole has the strongest gravitational field. We do not know where that would be, but it is most likely in the center of a galaxy somewhere in the universe.
What is orbit of the sun?
The sun is in an enormous orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated that it takes between 225 and 250 million years for the sun to make one orbit, called a galactic year. We are traveling around the center of the galaxy at a rate of about 220 km/second, which is .073% of the speed of light.
What is the center of the milky way like?
The center of the Milky Way Galaxy we believe to be a supermassive black hole. So the answer to your question would be: a region of intence gravitational force.
What is at the center of the andromeda galaxy?
At the center of the Andromeda Galaxy is a supermassive black hole known as "Andromeda Galaxy's Center" or M31*. This black hole has a mass equivalent to around 140 million suns and plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of the galaxy itself.
