Black Hole Facts for Kids

The video presents five fascinating facts about black holes. It covers their size categories, their eventual evaporation, their invisibility and effects on nearby objects, the phenomenon of spaghettification, and how they slow down time. The explanation includes the twin experiment to illustrate time dilation due to strong gravitational forces near black holes.

What are the two main size categories of black holes?

• Stellar and Galactic

• Galactic and Cosmic

• Stellar and Supermassive

• Supermassive and Cosmic

Where are supermassive black holes typically found?

• In the center of large galaxies

• In the Milky Way only

• In small galaxies

• In the outer regions of galaxies

How do black holes return their energy to the universe?

• By expanding

• By merging with stars

• By slowly evaporating

• By emitting light

What is the phenomenon called when objects are stretched into long strands near a black hole?

• Time dilation

• Gravitational lensing

• Spaghettification

• Event horizon

What happens to time as you approach the event horizon of a black hole?

• Time slows down

• Time remains constant

• Time speeds up

• Time stops completely
