If I were determining the mass of a black hole, would I do it the same way as if it were a planet?
no i think maybe you have to work back from its entropyEternalmetal said:If I were determining the mass of a black hole, would I do it the same way as if it were a planet?

A black hole is a region in space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from it. It is formed when a massive star dies and collapses in on itself.
The size of a black hole depends on its mass. The more massive a black hole is, the larger its event horizon (the point of no return) will be. Supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies can have a mass equivalent to billions of suns.
Black holes do not move in the traditional sense as they do not have a physical surface to move on. However, they can move through space by being dragged along with the objects they are orbiting.
Once you cross the event horizon of a black hole, it is impossible to escape. Your body and all matter will be stretched and compressed until it reaches the singularity, the point of infinite density at the center of a black hole.
According to current theories, black holes do not disappear. However, they do emit a type of radiation called Hawking radiation, which causes them to slowly lose mass over time. It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a black hole to fully evaporate.
