A black hole is able to form from a star exploding. Inside the stars gravity tries to pull everything closer. At the same time however , energy is released by nuclear reactions heat from a stellar interior.
The pressure of hot gas pushes out so that gravity and pressure balances exactly. And if you were to get sucked into a black hole then the first part of your body to touch the hole would experience a lot of gravity. Now that is scary.
Their are two different types of black holes first one is called a supermassive black hole. A supermassive black hole is fast moving gas jets and gravitation forces equal to millions or billions of suns point to the existence of huge black holes in the center of some galaxies. Miniature black holes. Science thinks that miniature black holes were made in the early universes. But astronomers do not have any evidence of their existence. Miniature black holes have event horizons.
But astronomers do not have any evidence of their existence. Miniature black holes have event horizons as small as the width of an atomic particle that might have been created during the Big Bang. Each type of black hole is made of gas know matter what.
