Black holes aren't actually holes, they're just humongous 'objects' that are so big that they have huge gravitational pulls and therefore pull everything into themselves, hence the name 'holes'.

What does a black objects do to light?

black object completely absorbe the incident energy and does not reflect any light because if energy incident on any other thing it reflect some portion in atmosphere that is why we can see the thing that it is in which colour but if energy absorbes by any object here total absorption no reflection


Will the planets align with the sun and a black hole?

It is unlikely that the planets will align with both the sun and a black hole due to the vast distances and different orbital mechanics involved. The gravitational influence of a black hole is significant but typically only affects objects very close to it, while the planets in our solar system have stable orbits around the sun.


Most of the planets have orbits that are nearly circular?

no, many planets have an orbit that is more of an oval shape. Few planets actually revolve around the sun, such as the moon, which actually revolves around the Earth, because earth has the closest amount of high atmospheric pressure. Also the sun is not the center of the universe. It is probably a humongous black hole about 28,000 lightyears away. So, Schmidt, You are not the center of the universe. (c)


Where in the universe does gravity act?

Where can you find gravity in the universe? If your feet are on the ground, then look no further! Gravity is the force that holds you to the earth. Gravity is what holds the moon spinning round the earth, and not floating away. Gravity holds the oceans on the earth, as well as the atmosphere.


Was a planet ever damaged by a black hole?

We do not know of any planets that have been destroyed by a black hole, but it probably has happened. Because of the vast distances in space and the fact that neither planets nor black holes emit light, both are hard to detect.

Do planets reflect light from the moon and the sun?

Yes, planets reflect light from both the Sun and the Moon. Planets reflect sunlight because they do not have their own light source. The light reflected from the Moon is actually sunlight that has been reflected off the Moon's surface.


Why is Space black or dark?

the space between stars and planets has insufficient particles to reflect the light back to us.


What kinds of objects in space have moons?

Planets have moons. Stars have planets. Galaxies have stars. Galaxies tend to actually be a supermassive black hole at the center so as far as the central object being orbited it is usually a black hole.


Can black metal reflect?

It the surface is a matt black, then no. A glossy black surface may reflect a little.


Which planet emits or reflects light?

All planets in the solar system reflect light from the Sun at night; remember they rotate on their axis and so during their night (or our night, for that matter) one side of a planet will always be facing the sun. Whether they're visible from an observer on Earth during our night is a different question - the inner planets, by virtue of the fact they're closer to the Sun, could be seen only in favorable conditions near sunset or sunrise (since they couldn't appear more distant than a narrow angle away from the sun in the sky, being inside Earth's orbit).

What color of the spectrum does a black road reflect?

A black road does not reflect any visible light, although it may reflect radiation at invisible wavelengths, such as heat.


Black or white reflect more lights?

This is actually a tricky question. White reflects more visible light, but something that appears black to humans can actually reflect more than white if it reflects other wavelengths that humans can't see. But if someone's asking this question, just say white. That's probably the answer they're looking for.


What is the purpose of the holes?

Actually, the purpose of black holes is to absorb matter and spew it out into the universe to seed new galaxies, stars, planets and things. Black holes are the "cleaners" of the galaxy, in my opinion.


What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?

White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.White surfaces reflect light and heat. Black surfaces do not reflect light and they absorb heat.


Why do planets have different color skies when space is dark?

I assume you are asking about the way we see those planets and other space objects. We see any other planet, whether here on earth, or from spacecraft - because of sunlight reflecting off of them. No planet, not even earth, makes it's own light. The planets with an atmosphere have colors in their atmosphere, depending on the atmospheric makeup. Planets and moons without any atmosphere appear varying shades of gray, brown or black in reflected sunlight, based on the object's surface appearance.Mercury has no atmosphere, so space would appear black from Mercury's surface, much like our moon. Mars has a light pinkish color to it's sky. Venus's sky would be a dark, brooding yellowish color from the planet's surface.


What colour is an object that does not reflect any light?

Black Technically speaking, an object that does not reflect any light whatsoever is not black, it is invisible. A black hole for example is not actually black. It would appear black to the observer but only because the rest of space is black. If you were standing next to one you would not be able to visually discern it was there (of course, you would get sucked in, which would negate the whole point!)black
