I was wondering recently what a black hole's tug/pull/ sucking effect would feel like if you could stand on a planet at a totally 'safe' distance, for example, or fly by perpendicularly.
I came up with 2.5 trillion miles or .43 light years, give or take.
I compared the diameter of the sun with the distance from the sun to the earth, and then expanded that proportion to the diameter of a black hole.
I know this is not a fool-proof method, but it was the way to satisfy my initial curiosity and give myself a ballpark notion of the distance.
Wondering what you all think, pardon my naivete,
Nick
