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.

Well, there are two kinds of black holes. The normal black holes and the supermassive black holes. The supermassive black holes are a billion times bigger then our sun, while normal black holes are the same size as the Earth.

A black hole is much bigger, but not only bigger, it is also stronger.

You should clarify whether you are referring to mass, diameter, or what. The known black holes are more massive than planets.

Is a black hole bigger than galaxy?

No. At least, the black holes in existence so far are much smaller in size, and have much less mass, than a galaxy. However, note that the black hole in the center of the largest galaxies can have more mass (but not more diameter) than some dwarf galaxies.


Are bigger black holes more stronger than smaller black holes?

yep.


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.

What happens to stars bigger than then the sun?

When they run out of fuel they collapse and become black holes.


What is the evidence for dark matter?

Wherever you look, galaxies and galaxy clusters are observed to have much more mass than the sum of the known matter (stars, dust, gas, black holes). Galaxies rotate too fast for the known amount of matter, galaxies in a galaxy cluster move too fast, and gravitational lensing indicates a larger mass than the known masses.Wherever you look, galaxies and galaxy clusters are observed to have much more mass than the sum of the known matter (stars, dust, gas, black holes).

Is there anything black holes can't suck up?

There are hypotheses about so called 'virtual particles' that may travel faster than speed of light, and hence are not sucked up by Black Holes. Also, Black Holes cannot suck another bigger Black Hole, when they meet a bigger one, they get sucked up rather.


Is the sun the biggest in the universe?

No the sun is not the biggest in the universe. Other stars like V V Cephei, Rigel etc. are larger and more massive than the sun. Except stars, there are other things like galaxies, black holes, etc. which are bigger than any star in the universe.


What is the black-hole in the galaxy?

Almost every galaxy has a super massive black hole in its centre and this fact is widely accepted now days . Milky way galaxy also have a super massive black hole of its own, weighing more than 4 million times more than our sun's mass. Andromeda galaxy is our nearest neighbour having a super massive black hole in its centre weighing 114 million solar masses .


What causes dark holes?

If you mean "Black Holes" then they are formed when a star very many times bigger than the sun goes supernova and collapses in on itself.


Are there bigger galaxies than the Andromeda?

Yes. Some giant elliptical galaxies contain tens of trillions of stars.


Is a blackhole strong enough to suck earth?

Yes, of course, Black holes are so much bigger than our sun and our earth is about 300 times smaller than our sun. Black holes can suck it the entire galaxy, even light.
