How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

The escape velocity of a black hole is equal or greater than the speed of light, so light cannot escape


What is the diameter of the black hole of galaxy Andromeda?

In Jan 1987, John Cormedy of Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Canada discovers the balck hole in Galaxy Andromeda and estimated that the diameter of black hole in Andromeda Galaxy is 10 million times as massive as the Sun.


Which is the biggest known black hole in the universe?

The supermassive black hole that hosts the galaxy NGC 1277, in the constellation Perseus, is currently the largest black hole in our visible universe with a mass equivalent to 17 billion suns. In 2012, astronomers have discovered this small galaxy about 250 million light-years from Earth.


What lies in the center of your galaxy?

It is likely to be a black hole though this has yet to be confirmed.


What is an event horizon in black holes?

Our understanding of physics and its mathematical foundations break down - they make no sense at all - in the realms of the very large and very fast. In mathematical terms, the density of matter in a black hole becomes infinite, and we cannot interpret what that means. We call this, the place where our mathematics breaks down, a "singularity". At a vaguely-knowable distance of the singularity, our math once again makes sense, and this distance is called the "event horizon". The size of the event horizon - the limits of what we can know and observe - is related to the mass of the black hole.

What becomes of energy when it is sucked up into a black hole?

Such energy has a mass equivalent (m = e/c2). Any such mass falling into the balck hole will increase the mass of the black hole.


What is the equivalent of a black hole using newtons third law of motion?

nothing


How does the escape velocity from a black hole compare with the speed of light?

What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What is the temperature of the black hole of the milky way?

Somewhere around 10−14 kelvin. In general, the more massive a black hole, the smaller will its thermodynamic temperature - the temperature equivalent of its Hawking radiation - be.


Does a black hole have mass?

No, a black hole definitely does not have infinite mass. In some mathematical models, there is an object called a singularity, inside a black hole, which has infinite density. That is not the same as infinite mass. If a finite mass is contained in zero volume, then the density becomes infinite. We do not have any real confirmation that such a thing as a singularity or an infinite density actually exist, but they may.

What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.


Where will you go in a black hole it?

If you fall into a black hole, you'll go into the black hole and nowhere else.


What is the environment in a black hole?

What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?

In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.


Is the super massive black hole the largest black hole?

Black hole is a location in space that possesses so much gravity, nothing can escape from its pull. Yes, Super massive black hole is the largest black hole.
