No, it's a simile because it uses the word than
That depends exactly how you interpret the term "strong". In its vicinity, the black hole distorts space more than anything that is NOT a black hole; so much that nothing can get out of the black hole. But at some standard distance, a galaxy, for example, would have more gravitational attraction than a black hole, simply because it has more mass. At least, so far no black hole of the mass of an entire galaxy has been found.That depends exactly how you interpret the term "strong".

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
No, a black hole is a region of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. Therefore, it is not possible for anything to have a greater mass than a black hole.
A Black Hole. Night is darker than day, but there is still artificial light and the light of celestial bodies. However, light cannot escape a black hole in space, so the area occupied by a black hole appears darker than night.
An intermediate-mass black hole is one that has a mass somewhere between 100 and a million solar masses, i.e., larger than the stellar black holes, but smaller than the supermassive black holes. It seems likely that such holes should exist, but the observational evidence is not yet very firm.An intermediate black hole is one whose mass is somewhere between that of a stellar black hole (a few times the mass of the Sun), and that of a supermassive, or galactic, black hole (millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun).
No, a black hole is not faster than light.
Sorry, the (black) hole itself is quite invisible due the fact that it does not emit any light at all ... neither reflected nor emitted. However, unless there is no material at all in the vicinity of the hole, the material being sucked into the hole is being accelerated at an unbelievably high rate and thus is glowing --- often brighter than a sun.
Yes. It's physically impossible for anything to be smaller than a black hole.
I don't think that either of these stars "have" a black hole.
No - The volume of the Milky Way galaxy is larger than the volume of its host black hole. The accumulated mass of the Milky Way galaxy is greater than the mass of its host black hole. The density of the Milky Way galaxy is much smaller than the density of its host black hole.
A black hole has more mass than a neutron star, but if you are comparing volume it would depend on the mass of the black hole. A neutron star is estimated to be about 14 miles in diameter, which is larger than the event horizon of a black hole up to about 3.8 times the mass of the sun. A more massive black hole will be larger.
there is no such thing as that
No. The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light.
Yes, but as a string of atoms erupting from the black hole like an explosion. Other than that, it is very unclear what happens inside a black hole.

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape
First of all, our sun can not become a black hole, it is too small for that. However if a star is three times bigger than our sun, then yes it will become a black hole.
