Is there an exact relationship between the size of a galaxy and the density of its black hole?
Scientists measure the size of a black hole by observing its effects on the surrounding matter and light. By studying the orbits of stars and gas around the black hole, they can calculate its mass and use this to determine its size.
The size of a black hole is directly proportional to its gravitational pull. This means that the larger the black hole, the stronger its gravitational force.
There is no known limit to the size of a black hole. However, the largest black holes known to exist are supermassive black holes, which can have a mass equivalent to billions of suns. These are found at the centers of galaxies.
Yes, there is a correlation between the size of a galaxy and the size of its central black hole. The larger the galaxy, the larger the central black hole is likely to be.
Yes, the size and structure of a galaxy can play a role in the formation and growth of black holes. For example, spiral galaxies tend to have larger and more active black holes compared to elliptical galaxies. This is because spiral galaxies have a greater supply of gas and dust, which can fuel the growth of black holes.
