Why do black holes have such strong gravity?
In: Physics
there’s two things actually. Mass, and distance.
Mass, BH can have an enormous amount of mass, the equivalent of many many suns.
Distance, BHs are very dense and have a small volume (relatively speaking) and since gravity falls off as radius squared, if you are really close to a huge dense mass, the gravity ‘force’ can be very strong.
