Black Holes, these endpoints of giant stars are one of many phenomena of the universe. ... These are the
questions going to most of the population of this small planet in the cosmos when someone mentions the
word “Black Hole”. These holes in space are not massive vacuum cleaners of our stellar matter, but
objects whose gravity is so strong that not even light(traveling at approx 300,000,000m per second) can
escape from it. If the Sun were to be replaced by a black hole, the solar system we live in would not be
“sucked in” but only the temperature would be affected. Any photon that becomes trapped in a black
holes orbit, shall never escape from its gravitational force. ...
Since black holes are small (only a few to a few tens of kilometers in size), and light that would
allow us to see them cannot escape, a black hole floating alone in space would be hard, if not
impossible, to see. With a theoretical idea such as a black hole, there are always nonbelievers. However,
if a black hole passes through a cloud of interstellar matter, or is close to another "normal" star, the black
hole can accrete matter into itself.
