BLACK HOLE'S!!!!!!!!

Hey guy's today we will be talking about Black Hole's. And yes Black Holes are BLACK HOLES!!!!!!!!!. Ok now you know what black hole's are bye just kidding. Ok a black hole is a region of space where the gravity is so strong that nothing can escape it not even light can escape it. Albert Einstein discovered black holes through the theory of relativity. The theory was published in 1916.The gravitational force is strong near a black hole because all the black


holes matter is concentrated at a single point in its center.




Black holes are like such messy eaters. Some material won't


reach the event horizon but instead is caught up in powerful


magnetic fields exist around black holes

Rotating Sun from NASA

The Sun (Ahh It's Hot)j

The Sun is a huge, glowing ball at the center of our solar system. The sun provides light, heat, and other energy to Earth. The sun is made up entirely of gas. Most of it is a type of gas that is sensitive to magnetism. This sensitivity makes this type of gas so special that scientists sometimes give it a special name called  plasma. Nine planets and their moons, tens of thousands of asteroids, and trillions of comets revolve around the sun. The sun and all these objects are in the solar system. Earth travels around the sun at an average distance of about 92,960,000 miles from it. The sun's radius  is about 432,000 miles  that's 109 times Earth's radius.
The part of the sun that we see has a temperature of about 5500 degrees C (10,000 degrees F). Astronomers measure star temperatures in a metric unit called the Kelvin. One Kelvin equals  1 Celsius degree (1.8 Fahrenheit degree), but the Kelvin and Celsius scales begin at different points. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, which is -273.15 degrees C (- 459.67 degrees F). Thus, the temperature of the solar surface is about 5800 K. Temperatures in the sun's core reach over 15 million Kelvin.
