///@weirdphysics: A black hole with a mass 20 billion times that of the

Sun is an astronomical behemoth, stretching the

of no return for anything falling into the black hole-would

extend to about 120 billion kilometers, roughly 80 times

the distance from the Sun to Pluto. The gravitational force

exerted by this colossal black hole would be so powerful

that even light itself would be unable to escape its grasp,

making it an extraordinary cosmic entity.

Technically not "size", but mass. And there are a wide rage of masses from "stellar mass" (~3 solar masses), to "super giant" (billions of solar masses) black holes. There's even theoretical "primordial" back holes that could be planetary mass or even smaller, and take up a space smaller than an a... View More
