Can Earth be affected by a
black hole in the future?
To
know the answer of this question, firstly we have to know about the concept of
black hole and how does it works.
So
now we start with the introduction of
Black hole;
You
know that our universe is made up of stars, asteroids, galaxies, Planets,
satellites, meteorites etc. But beside all these there are thousands of things
that were present in our universe and most of them are still to be discovered. Black
hole is a region present in our universe where gravity is so strong that no
particles can escape from it. For example, if our earth is swallowed by the
Black hole than there is no chance for earth escape from it.
History of Black Hole:
Einstein
was the first person who predicted the existence of black hole. He published
his theory of general relativity in 1916. This theory describes how gravity
shapes the fabric of space-time. This theory gave him the idea of black hole.
Formation of Black Hole:
When
a star dies, it collapses inward rapidly. As it collapses, the star explodes
into a supernova. The stars with more than 20 magnitudes are called supernova.
The dying star continues to collapse until it becomes a singularity (something
consisting of zero volume and infinite density). The extreme density of the new
singularity pulls everything towards it, including space-time (It is the union
of space and time as one four-dimensional continuum. This would finally result
in the formation of Black Hole.
We
may never be able to prove exactly what happens inside black holes, although
many scientists are making the connection between singularities and the big
bang theory, which proposes that our universe exploded into existence from what,
could have been a singularity.
What happen if Black
whole enter our solar system:
Anything
that comes close to black hole gets doomed. Stars, planet, and even solar
system. If a black hole found any way to enter our solar system it will totally
disrupt the gravitational forces of our solar system. The black will literally
tear planets from their orbits and smashed them into each other. For example,
if it comes close to planet Jupiter it could actually pull the moon of Jupiter
away from the planet itself. It results in the unbalancing of the rotation of
moons of Jupiter.
How does Black hole
affect our earth?
According
to Astronomer’s, the closest Black hole to the earth is 1,000 light-years away.
NASA captures the image of black hole by creating a network of telescopes known
as Event Horizon Telescope, or the EHT. They set out to capture an image of a
black hole by improving upon a technique that allows for the imaging of
far-away objects, known as Very long Baseline interferometer, or VLBI.
According to them, this black hole still has no impact on our earth. But as the
distance reduced between earth and the black hole it may affect the gravitation
forces of our solar system which results in misbalance of our solar system.

Conclusion:
From the above discussion we conclude that the
black hole can totally disrupt the gravitational forces of our solar system. It
results in the unbalance of our earth rotation and earth orbit movement. And
also results in the collision of stars, planets and moons.
