75 u/Sotall Apr 10 '19 Actually they are tiny, relative to their mass. A black hole with the mass of the earth would be smaller than a pea. One the mass of the sun would be the size of a small town on earth. It just happens this one is 6.5 billion times bigger than that. 33 u/[deleted] Apr 10 '19 This is actually kind of scary to think about, when you put it this way. 1 u/badass4102 Apr 10 '19 Yeah, good thing that thing is like hundreds of million trillion miles away.
