Black hole?

Question

Can you please answer anything you can about it in like 7th grade form. Thanks!

Answer 1

um well basically its formed from the explosion of a massive star. the debris from the star exploding and the core thats left over get pulled back together by gravity. and since the star is no longer producing pressure and heat gravity can collapse it to the smallest possible point. so it collapses it into a 1 dimensional point. so its not really a hole at all, its basically the opposite, a super dense, super massive point.

their called black holes because you cant see them at all. this is because for us to see something light needs to reflect off of the object were looking at. and the gravity of the black hole is so massive that even light cant travel fast enough to escape them.

and you cant travel through a black hole. there is no other side because it violates several scientific laws and laws of physics. so if you happen to get sucked into one you would be ripped apart and then crushed into small particles.

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

Answer 3

A black hole is an infinitely dense object, so that at close distances gravity is theoretically infinite. Gravity gets weaker with distance very quickly, but it also gets stronger as you get closer equally quickly. But the distance is from the CENTER of the object; not the distance from the surface. You standing on Earth are 4,000 miles from the center and gravity is normal. They call it 1G for 1 times Earth normal gravity. If you flew 4,000 up into space you would be 8,000 miles from the center of Earth and gravity would only be a quarter as strong. If you dug a hole 2,000 miles deep though, gravity at the bottom would NOT be 4 times stronger, because all that mass above you has gravity pulling up on you. But if you squeezed Earth down to a smaller ball, so that the surface was only 2,000 miles away from the center, gravity on that new surface would be 4 Gs. If you squeezed Earth more, so that the surface was only 1,000 miles from the center, gravity would be 16 Gs. Every time you cut the size of Earth in half, you increase surface gravity 4 times. Notice that gravity 4,000 miles from the center is still only 1G, but that is not on the surface any more for the smaller Earth. Now if you squeezed it to the size of a basketball, gravity would be SO strong that it would actually pull light trying to shine up from the surface back down. That is a black hole. And by the way, that is one HEAVY basketball. It is the size of a basketball but as heavy as the whole Earth. That is what a black hole is, something WAY heavier than you would expect for its size.

Answer 4

A star implodes and is so heavy it rips space and time down to a singularity from there it's anyones guess. Nothing can escape it's grasp not even light hence black hole.
