For a stellar black hole, yes. Mass cannot be created or destroyed. Generally a black hole will be less massive than the star from which it formed, as much of the star's mass gets blasted when the star dies in a supernova. A black hole can gain mass over time as matter falls into it.

If 2 black holes join together what hole will it become?

A more massive black hole.


Will an object that is pulled into a black hole become more massive?

no


What does the Black Hole do to all the stuff it takes in?

The stuff it takes in stays in the black hole, making it bigger (i.e., more massive), and thus more powerful.


Is there a possibility the sun could go super nova or turn into a black hole?

No. Our Sun isn't massive enough to go supernova, or to turn into a black hole. A star needs to be more than 3 times more massive than our Sun in order to become a black hole.


Is our sun big enough to form a black hole?

Stars like the Sun are not massive enough to become a black hole. Instead, in several billion years, the Sun will form a white dwarf. Black holes can be formed if the remaining core of a star after it had gone supernova is very massive (more than 2.5 times the mass of the Sun).


What happens if a white hole gets sucked into a black hole?

A white hole (assuming they actually exist) is simply a small black hole, so nothing very spectacular would happen. The black hole would just get very slightly more massive (well, considerably more massive on a "how many ounces is that" scale; not so much on a "how many solar masses is that" scale).


What determines if the sun will turn into a black hole?

The Sun probably won't turn into a black hole. What determines whether a certain star becomes a black hole is basically the amount of mass left over, once the star runs out of energy. Less massive stars turn into white dwarves; more massive stars into neutron stars; and the most massive of all, into black holes.


Why does the super massive black hole have more gravity?

Quite simply it has more mass. The more mass an object has, the more gravity it will have.


Is a neutron star or a black hole bigger?

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.


What makes a black hole stronger?

A black hole becomes stronger as it increases in mass, which results in greater gravitational pull. When matter falls into a black hole, it adds to its mass, making it "stronger" in terms of its gravitational influence on surrounding objects.


What is the black-hole in the galaxy?

Almost every galaxy has a super massive black hole in its centre and this fact is widely accepted now days . Milky way galaxy also have a super massive black hole of its own, weighing more than 4 million times more than our sun's mass. Andromeda galaxy is our nearest neighbour having a super massive black hole in its centre weighing 114 million solar masses .
