Karl Schwarzschild discovered the first exact solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity, now known as the Schwarzschild metric. This solution describes the gravitational field outside a spherically symmetric non-rotating mass, such as a black hole.

No, Albert Einstein did not specifically discover black holes. His theory of general relativity laid the foundation for understanding the structure of spacetime, which contributed to our understanding of black holes when other scientists like Karl Schwarzschild and John Wheeler applied his principles to describe them.
The Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. It is about 2.95 km for every solar mass.
Black holes neither expand nor collapse in the conventional sense. Once a black hole forms, it remains the same size unless it gains mass by absorbing matter or energy. However, black holes can grow in size over time as they capture surrounding material.

Schwarzschild black holes. Named after the scientist who proved mathematically black holes can exist.

Astronomer and physicist Karl Schwarzschild provided the first exact solutions to Einstein's field equations in the year the latter's General Theory was published (1915). Spherically symmetric non-rotating black holes are sometimes called Schwarzschild black holes.

Karl Schwarzschild developed the idea for black holes from relativity’s equations in 1916, just a year after Einstein published his theory. For this reason, early physicists studying these bizarre objects often called them “frozen stars.” Today, we know them by the name first used by Wheeler in 1967: black holes.

No. Nobody invented black holes; they occur naturally. However, Einstein's theory of relativity suggested the possibility that black holes could exist. Karl Schwarzschild was the first to explore these implications.
