What do black holes orbit?
No. There are no black holes in our solar system. Based on current models, the smallest stellar mass black holes are at the very least about 3 times the mass of the sun. Therefore, if there were a black hole in our solar system the sun would either orbit it or the two would orbit about a common center of mass.
Is there a black hole in earth solar system?
In Earth, no. Black holes are only formed when the initial mass of a star is great enough that at the end of its life, it will either go supernova (massive explosion) or turn into a black hole. The sun is a medium sized star, and will most likely just burn out and turn into a white dwarf.
How big is the largest black hole known?
The most relevant quantity is the black hole's mass. Note that the black hole's diameter (the diameter of the event horizon, really) is directly proportional to its mass. The largest galactic black holes known seem to be around 20 billion solar masses. Check the Wikipedia "List of most massive black holes" for more details. Note that the mass of some of these black holes is not very well-known.
What is the most common form of black holes in the universe?
Probably stellar mass black holes
What is the common size of a black hole?
There is no "average" mass for black holes throughout the entire universe. Black holes range greatly in mass, depending on how they were formed, and how long they have existed if you take Hawking Radiation into account. Mass can be anywhere between a couple hundred protons, such as those created by cosmic rays striking Earth's atmosphere, or an enormous mass such as those in the center of almost every spiral galaxy.
Are black holes the most powerful thing in the solar system?
no. there are no black holes in our solar system.
Where could someone find a black hole?
Black holes are in outer space, far outside our solar system. Most galaxies have a large black hole at the center.
What would happen if a black hole went into your solar system?
The presence of a black hole in our solar system would have one of two outcomes. The first possibility is that all of the bodies in the system would be drawn into the black hole, and compacted into BEC (Bose-Einstein Condensate), resulting in the effective destruction of the system. The second is that some/all of the bodies would assume stable orbits around the black hole, which, contrary to urban legend, is entirely possible (without black holes, we could not survive, because black holes are one of the cements of the universe, and our galaxy is held together largely by black holes), which would not destroy our solar system; it would, however, cause most of the system to freeze, making life impossible. Time would also be severely distorted for our system, since black holes are not just a spacial distortion, but a temporal one.
Which heavenly body in the solar system fascinates the most?
I'm not sure you can really call that a "body" but for me it's definitely Black Holes - and many scientists share that opinion :)
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.
What do black holes orbit?
No. There are no black holes in our solar system. Based on current models, the smallest stellar mass black holes are at the very least about 3 times the mass of the sun. Therefore, if there were a black hole in our solar system the sun would either orbit it or the two would orbit about a common center of mass.
How does a black hole have extreme mass?
Not all do - most black holes have masses comparable to that of a star; this makes sense, since they are believed to have formed from collapsing stars. There are, however, black holes that have thousands, millions, or even billions of times the mass of our Sun - called intermediate black holes, or (for about a million solar masses or more), supermassive black holes. It is currently unknown how exactly they got so massive.
Is there a black hole in earth solar system?
In Earth, no. Black holes are only formed when the initial mass of a star is great enough that at the end of its life, it will either go supernova (massive explosion) or turn into a black hole. The sun is a medium sized star, and will most likely just burn out and turn into a white dwarf.
What is the largest named black hole?
OJ 287. This is a binary pair of black holes. It contains the most massive black hole known, with a mass estimated at 18 billion solar masses.
How big is the largest black hole known?
The most relevant quantity is the black hole's mass. Note that the black hole's diameter (the diameter of the event horizon, really) is directly proportional to its mass. The largest galactic black holes known seem to be around 20 billion solar masses. Check the Wikipedia "List of most massive black holes" for more details. Note that the mass of some of these black holes is not very well-known.
How are supermassive black holes different from stellar mass black holes?
In their mass. a "stellar black hole" has a few solar masses (a few times the mass of our Sun), while a supermassive black hole (found in the center of most galaxies) typically has a mass of millions or billions times the mass of our Sun.
What is the most common form of black holes in the universe?
Probably stellar mass black holes
