The Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. It is about 2.95 km for every solar mass.

How did Karl schwarzschild discover cosmic black holes?

He did not discover them. He did some calculations that predicted the possibility of the existence of black holes.


Did Albert Einstein figure out what black holes are?

The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).


What is the mass range for a supermassive black hole?

Anywhere from about 100,000 solar masses (100,000 times the mass of our Sun), to more than 10 billion solar masses (the approximate size of the largest known black holes).


Do black holes expand or collapse?

The general tendency is for black holes to grow. If any matter falls into a black hole, its mass will increase, and therefore its Schwarzschild radius (the radius of its event horizon) will increase as well.The general tendency is for black holes to grow.

What was the name of the person who discovered black holes?

Karl Schwarzschild discovered black holes.


After whom are non-rotating black holes named?

Schwarzschild black holes. Named after the scientist who proved mathematically black holes can exist.

After whom are non-rotating black holes named after?

Astronomer and physicist Karl Schwarzschild provided the first exact solutions to Einstein's field equations in the year the latter's General Theory was published (1915). Spherically symmetric non-rotating black holes are sometimes called Schwarzschild black holes.


What is m60 on black holes?

Not sure what you mean. M60 is a galaxy. Just about all galaxies have supermassive black holes in their center - and lots of smaller black holes. The supermassive black hole in M60 is estimated to have 4.5 billion solar masses - one of the largest known black holes.

How fat is a black hole?

A black hole can have anywhere between a few Sun masses, and several billion Sun masses (the so-called "supermassive black holes"). The diameter of the event horizon, if that's what you mean, is directly proportional to the black hole's mass - in other words, more massive black holes have a larger diameter.


What is a supermassave black hole?

A supermassive black hole refers to a black hole of considerable mass - usually between around a million solar masses, and several billion solar masses. Such huge black holes are found in the center of all large galaxies.

Have astronomers found evidence of any other black holes in other galaxys?

Yes. In fact, it looks as if all, or most, larger galaxies have huge ("supermassive") black holes in their center. The largest black holes found so far have an estimated 20 billion solar masses.
