What is a black hole,and the different types of black hole
What is a black hole?
A black hole forms when a large, dying star collapses. The gravity created by this condensing matter completely overpowers any outward sources, including light.
Although a black hole emits no light, it's presence is detectable by radioastronomy equipment.
It's extremely strong gravitational pull sucks gas and dust toward itself, forming a whirling accretion disk around the hole.
The disk heats any matter that crosses it, emitting x-rays(opposite).
Stellar mass
-Formed from collapsed cores of giant stars.
-mass a few times greater than that of Earth's son.
Intermediate mass
-100-10,000 times more massive than Earth's sun.
-Only a few identified and confirmed.
Supermassive
-Largest type
-Inhabits cores of galaxies
-From a few million to a few billion times larger than the sun.
Primordial black hole
-Smallest type
-Formed in the early universe, soon after the big bang.
