i have homework so i am going to put a bunch of questions into one post.
So is a black hole basically like a round black door in space?
or is it like an orb into which nothing can escape?
Could we even see it because of the fact that no light is emitted from it and that it basically kills all light around it?
What class would i have to focus on if i didnt want to wait for you guys to answer me? :P

Think of it as a dark sun or star. Things that go near a black hole end up like a bug on a windshield. The word hole in this case is misleading. It is not a hole in the sense of what we know here on Earth like a hole in the ground or a drain in the sink with sides and so forth.

A black hole is a sphere like our Earth or the Sun. Like the Sun, a black hole also is a star who's gravity is so strong that light cannot escape it's surface and shine out into space.

If you could get close enough to a black hole you would see what would appear to be a dark circle . This is how it came to be called a black hole. Compared to and among all the bright stars in the heavens these strange phenomenon are like a dark hole in space.

Knowing this now you can see that anything that gets near a black hole does not go anywhere but to certain destruction

A black hole is a an anomaly in space in where gravity is inescapable even for light, the gravity is so strong it reduces everything it sucks up to singularity, we can't see black holes but astronomers know that black holes are there because they're gravitational pull affects the objects around it such as stars and planets, it seems that black holes have been proven its no longer a theory

A black hole is a region of space whose gravitational field is so powerful that nothing can escape it once it has fallen past a certain point, called the event horizon. The name comes from the fact that even electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) is unable to escape, rendering the interior invisible.

I visualize a black whirlpool galaxy... no stars, just slight streaks here and there where stars fall in, before they 'unbecome'.....
