    1. A black hole is a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole there is a mathematically defined surface called an event horizon that marks the point of no return. The hole is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics. Quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit radiation like a black body with a finite temperature. This temperature is inversely proportional to the mass of the black hole, making it difficult to observe this radiation for black holes of stellar mass or greater.

  3. What Is a Black Hole?
    Simply put, a black hole is a region of
    space that is so incredibly dense that
    not even light can escape from the
    surface. However, it is this fact that
    often leads to miss-understanding.
    Black holes, strictly speaking, don't
    have any greater gravitational reach
    than any other star of the same
    mass. If our Sun suddenly became a
    black hole of the same mass the rest
    of the objects, including Earth, would
    be unaffected gravitationally. The
    Earth would remain in its current
    orbit, as would the rest of the
    planets. (Of course other things
    would be affected, such as the
    amount of light and heat that Earth
    received. So we would still be in
    trouble, but we wouldn't get sucked
    into the black hole.)
    There is a region of space
    surrounding the black hole from
    where light can not escape, hence
    the name. The boundary of this
    region is known as the event
    horizon, and it is defined as the
    point where the escape velocity
    from the gravitational field is equal
    to the speed of light. The calculation
    of the radial distance to this
    boundary can become quite
    complicated when the black hole is
    rotating and/or is charged.
    For the simplest case (a non-
    rotating, charge neutral black hole),
    the entire mass of the black hole
    would be contained within the event
    horizon (a necessary requirement
    for all black holes). The event horizon
    radius (Rs) would then be defined as
    Rs = 2GM/c2.
    Latif.
