A supermassive black hole is a black hole with a very large mass, millions to billions times the mass of the sun. The supermassive black hole in our galaxy is about 4 million times the mass of the sun.

∙ 13y agoSupermassive black holes have masses that are millions to billions of solar masses, and only exist in the center of galaxies.
They hold the galaxies together, and are the second largest type of black hole, besides the rare deep core black holes.

∙ 14y agoFirst of all, when talking about astronomical objects, you should be a little more careful in your use of the word "big". Do you mean (a) larger diameter? or (b) larger mass? or (c) some other criteria? In any case, a supermassive black hole is larger from both points of view (a or b). Its mass is typically millions to billions of solar masses; the mass of a stellar black hole is a few solar masses, some tens of solar masses at most. The diameter (of the event horizon) is proportional to the mass.

What is the most dangerous black hole?
None, really. At least, for us, and now. A black hole can be dangerous if it's very massive (such as a supermassive black hole). But mainly, a black hole would be completely harmless, unless it gets close - and the nearest known black hole is at a distance of about 3000 light-years. Even a supermassive black hole would be harmless at such a distance.
