Everything you need to know about Black Holes - PART 3

in #science6 years ago (edited)

  Hello steemians! How you doin? Today I am back with the 3rd part of the series "Everything you need to know about black holes". In this article we will see what will happen if a black hole enters in our solar system. This is going to be awesome, right? I know, so let's start.

Okay so coming back to the question, what will happen if a black hole is wandering in our solar system? Well that depends. Depends on what? You may ask. It depends on the size of the black hole. Here size means the mass of black hole. More the mass, more will be its area under its clutches. According to scientists the mass of the star, the imminent black hole should have a mass of about 1.6 times the mass of our own sun. Otherwise after supernova it will just become a dwarf star and not a black hole.

Therefore the minimum mass of a black hole is about 1.6 times of our sun. This implies that even if a natural occurring black hole enters our solar system we are in trouble because since its mass will be more than our sun, it's gravitational pull will also be greater than our sun. Due to this the orbital of each planet will be perturbed. This can cause collision of different planets including our earth and we the residents of planet earth will be doomed. So definitely everything will be disturbed if a black hole enters our solar system.

If the black hole passes very close from our earth it will be even more devastating. We will be seeing floods having height more than burj khalifa, earthquakes having intensity we can't even measure with our current technology, buildings will be ripped out from their foundation, cars will be flying in sky, etc.

Now you will be thinking that first I said it depends on the size of black hole and then I said even if the smallest natural black hole enters our solar system it will be devastating. But as some of you may have noticed that I said naturally occurring black holes. Those who have read my previous articles knows that every object having some mass can be converted in a black hole if we make its size less than its Schwarzchild radius. So now what will happen if we transform Mt. Everest in a black hole on our earth. You may be thinking that since it is present on our earth things will be even more devastating. No, that's not the case. Since its mass is still same it is not gonna make the cars fly. Having the same mass as before it's gravitational pull is still gonna be the same. But still if you stand just next to it, things will be different. It will rip your body apart. Sphagettification of your body will take place and you will be turned into ashes.

So basically everything depends on the size i.e. mass of the black hole. Not every black hole is gonna hurt you. Smaller the black hole smaller will be its area under its clutches. As far as you maintain some distance and stay out of its photon sphere you are safe. So now you know what happens if we or our solar system encounters a black hole. Good luck showing off your knowledge in front of your friends and maybe even your professors 😜.
 

That's all for today and I will meet you next time with some more science. Till then good bye and take care.

Hi, have you heard of SteemSTEM? We're a curation team promoting Science, Tech etc. You'd do well there but we have lots of rules and quality standards in place you can read more about on our Discord. Otherwise use our tag #steemstem, use images that are available for commercial use and good luck!

Well written article. You have worked really hard to research about blackhole

Thanks for appreciating my work. I will be uploading such good articles in future too. Don't forget to follow me @nayanborah.

Hey, byteball's wallet is back. I've sent you the required fee to get the airdrop :)

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

This implies that even if a natural occuring black hole enters our solar system we are in trouble because since its mass will be more than our sun, it's gravitational pull will also be greater than our sun.
It should be occurring instead of occuring.

Thanks for correcting me.
