The classical idea about black holes is that in a black hole, mass is concentrated to an infinitely small size, so it has an infinite density. That would cause an infinite gravitational field. However, this infinite density, etc. seems doubtful in view of quantum physics - but what exactly happens near the center of a black hole has not been completely clarified yet.

Is it more correct to say that a Black Hole has infinite mass or infinite gravity?

A black hole has infinite density.


How many pounds does a 2 ton bus weigh with no gravity?

A two-ton bus would have zero weight in zero gravity, since weight is dependent on the force of gravity. However, gravity has an infinite range, so gravity would only actually be zero at an infinite distance from the source of the gravity.


If black holes have infinite gravity why don't they affect our solar system?

To say that black holes have infinite gravity is somewhat misleading. Theoretically, the strength of gravity at the singularity is infinite, but it diminishes with distance. While technically there is some gravitational attraction, even across light years of space, the effect is tiny at such distances.


How does a quasar burst away from a black hole if the black hole has infinite gravity?

It's only infinite around the event horizon.

What are things that are gravity?

There are no things that are gravity. Gravity is a force that is associated with anything that has mass.


How much did all mass weigh at the big bang?

Weight is a function of gravity. Gravity is determined by proximity to mass. At the point of the big bang, all the mass of the universe (which is said to be infinite) was compressed to a single point. Therefore the pull of gravity, and thus the weight of that mass would also be infinite.


Is anything infinite in the universe?

Yes, the universe itself is believed to be infinite in size, with no known boundaries or edges.


How many pages does Gravity's Rainbow have?

What Planet would you be on if you had no weight?

There isn't one. Anything that has mass has gravity, and anything with gravity will produce a "weight".
