Physically, a black hole has no length, width, height, radius, diameter, or size of any kind.

But it can have millions or billions of times as much mass as the sun has, and

its gravitational effects can be felt over a region of space larger than the solar

system.

Is the sun bigger then a black hole?

Black holes can be many different sizes. Therefore, there are some black holes that are bigger than the sun, and there are some that are smaller than the sun.


Is black holes bigger than galaxies?

A black hole has a much larger mass than a planet. The mass of a black hole, however, is contained in a point that is smaller than some fundamental particles. The event horizon of a typical stellar mass black hole is much smaller than any planet, but the event horizons of supermassive black holes are much larger.


Why it is impossible for the sun to turn into a black hole?

Simply put, it isn't big enough. A star must have a certain mass to become a black hole after its "death", and the Sun doesn't have enough. Our "Sun" is not big enough, only stars that are a lot bigger will explode and become a black hole.

Is a neutron star or a black hole bigger?

A black hole has more mass than a neutron star, but if you are comparing volume it would depend on the mass of the black hole. A neutron star is estimated to be about 14 miles in diameter, which is larger than the event horizon of a black hole up to about 3.8 times the mass of the sun. A more massive black hole will be larger.


How much longer does a black hole need to live?

It doesn't "need to live", but it will, whether it needs, or not. A black hole with the mass of our Sun or more is very resilient; it will continue existing - as a black hole - for much, much longer than the current age of the Universe.

Black holes were once massive stars that used up their?

Black holes can only be created when a super massive star explodes. The star has to be 10x bigger then our sun to make a black hole. When our sun explodes it will just create a white dwarf. When the star runs out of hydrogen and helium it explodes and creates a black hole.
