Light that passes near a black hole but does not cross the event horizon is bent toward it in what is called gravitational lensing. The closer the light passes to the black hole, the more it is bent. For someone with an up-close view, this lensing would result in a highly distorted image of whatever is behind the black hole. Photons that cross the event horizon are lost inside of it forever, and their energy is added to the mass of the black hole.

Why doesn't the black hole have light?

You 'see' things when light (photons) are reflected off a surface, and absorbed by your retina. A black hole's gravitational field is so strong, that the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Any photons within a certain radius will be unable to escape. Since no photons are being emitted, the black hole appears black and gives off no light.


What are the effects of black hole on other planets?

As the planet is approaching a black hole due to the immense gravitational pull on the objects surrounding it, the planet revolves around the black hole until it falls into the black hole.

Where is the black hole that you get the space sharks in poptropica?

To get to the black hole you have to go to straight until the little square says "approaching black hole". Then when you see that you just go straight and you'll see it, but don't get sucked in!

An object in space having a volume that is approaching zero and density approaching infinity?

This scenario would describe a theoretical point-like object known as a singularity, such as a black hole. In a black hole, the mass is compressed to an infinitely small point with extremely high density, resulting in gravitational effects that warp spacetime around it. The singularity is thought to be hidden by the event horizon of the black hole, beyond which no information can escape.
