I am making the assumption that the black hole begins upon the event horizon. Hypothetically if you could see, you would see nothing; since there is no light being returned for your eyes to process, you are basically blind.

Can you see a black hole when you are on eath?

You cannot see a black hole when you are on Earth, unless a black hole were to absorb Earth, which even then, you would see it in a split-second before it would engulf you


If your body is a black hole are you invisible?

Black holes are invisible to the visible light spectrum and many others because their gravity is so strong it pulls in even light. So in theory yes. But a human body is FAR too light to ever form a black hole. However, if you define visibility as human perception of it, while we never see light from a black hole, we would notice the absence of light in an area, so even if it were possible to turn your body into a black hole, no one would see you, but the would see a black gap in space where you should be...


What would happen if you threw a plastic bag into a black hole?

The bag would be sucked in, you would never see it again.


Can you see a video of the black hole in space?

While there are no direct videos of black holes in space, astronomers have used telescopes to capture images of the matter surrounding black holes, known as the black hole's accretion disk. These images help us study black holes and their properties, but we cannot directly see the black hole itself due to its nature of trapping light.


If nothing can escape a black hole in outer space how can you see photos of a black hole?

The answer is, you cannot see photos of a black hole. You are quite right; not even light can escape a black hole's incredible gravity, so all black holes are completely invisible. It is possible, however, to see long trails of matter that is being pulled into a black hole. The way we detect black holes from earth, however, is by picking up the gamma rays that they emit.

How can you say there is a black hole?

You can't see the black hole but you can see its inflence on its environment. (You can see matter that is sucked into the black hole)


If you were in a black hole would you see black?

If you call being past the event horizon being "in" the black hole, no. Because you wouldn't be there to see anything, you would be smooshed into your smallest atomic parts. If you ever want to "one with something" a black hole is the perfect place for you..everything gets pressed into the coldest densest thing - galactic people/star/spaceship goo. A long way from the black hole you might see the materials around it being changed, as you go closer you would see more and more things falling into the black hole until the ship and you and anything else nearby would become one. Ew.


How can we see black holes?

You can't see a black hole.

What happens if you explode an Atomic Bomb inside a Black Hole?

The force of the impact will still be absorbed by the black hole. By definition, a black hole is a very dense mass where no form of radiation can escape - not even light. Since no explosion is faster than light, a black hole would absorb the blast, the impact, and all forms of light and radiation that would be emitted from the bomb. If you were to watch a black hole, you would see no changes from it.


Is there anysites you couldd see the hole?

If you are talking about a black hole the answere is no. Not even light can ascape the force of gravity of a black hole, therefore you can't see the hole itself.


What can you see in a blackhole?

The gravitational forces inside a black hole would be so severe that you wouldn't see anything. 1.) You would be killed instantly 2.) Any light present would be drawn towards the core, not your eyes, hence the name "black hole".

Is it true that you can see the back of your head in a black hole?

Not "inside" a black hole, but outside the black hole at a distance one and a half times the radius of the event horizon there exists a photon sphere, where, to a distant observer, light might seem to be "in orbit" around the black hole. It would thus be conceivable in a theoretical sense that if you were standing in a ring-shaped tunnel around the black hole at this distance, you could see the back of yourself standing at a certain distance away down an apparently straight tunnel (and repeating copies of yourself at intervals converging at infinity, if you were able to see around yourself). The photons from the back of your head would have thus traveled in what to them would have been a straight line (or geodesic through curved space) to your eye.
