1
New cards
Black holes have solid surfaces
false
2
New cards
If density increases, gravity
increases
3
New cards
space-time
is warped by mass and causes orbits
4
New cards
• Curvature of spacetime due to mass
Objects of lower mass follow the warps made by more massive objects -> warps are gravity
5
New cards
behavior of light in a curved spacetime
light follows the curves
6
New cards
Gravitational lensing
the bending or "lensing" of light caused by the warp in space from massive objects
7
New cards
Escape velocity:
how fast you need to travel to no longer feel the force of gravity from an object
8
New cards
event horizon
the location around a black hole where the escape velocity equals the speed of light; the boundary of a black hole
9
New cards
Schwarzschild radius
the distance from the center to the event horizon in any black hole. How big the black hole is.

New cards
If you replaced the mass of the Sun with a black hole of equal mass, what would happen?
Nothing would change about the orbits of objects in the Solar System
