Absolutely, planets can indeed orbit a black hole, just like how they orbit a star. Black holes have a strong gravitational pull, which means anything that gets close enough can swirl around it just like happy little planets in a cosmic dance of creativity. Just imagine the beauty of these orbits, friend - it's like painting a lovely universe full of wonder! üååüñåÔ∏è
Oh, sweetie, technically anything can orbit anything else if it has enough mass and is traveling at the right speed. So, technically speaking, yes, planets can orbit a black hole. But let me tell you, life on a planet near a black hole wouldn't be a walk in the park - but then again, life on Earth isn't always a picnic either.
Yes, planets can theoretically orbit a black hole. In a system where a black hole is present, objects like planets can be in orbit around the black hole if they are at a sufficient distance to avoid falling into the event horizon.
The orbit of a planet around a black hole would be similar to the way planets orbit a star like our Sun. The key factor determining whether a planet can stably orbit a black hole is the gravitational influence of the black hole, which is defined by its mass and the distance from the black hole.
In a stable orbit around a black hole, a planet would need to have a specific velocity and trajectory to avoid being pulled into the black hole by its immense gravitational force. If a planet is too close to a black hole or its velocity is not sufficient to maintain a stable orbit, it would eventually be pulled into the black hole and consumed.
Therefore, while planets can theoretically orbit a black hole, the conditions for a stable orbit around a black hole are very specific and challenging to achieve because of the extreme gravitational forces involved.
Oh, absolutely! Just picture it - a beautiful planet dancing and twirling around the mysterious, dark blob of a black hole. The gravity pulls it in close, but with the right speed and distance, that planet can orbit gracefully, creating a wondrous cosmic ballet that marvels even the most stoic of galaxies. Believe in your orbit, my friend - the universe has a way to make even the most unlikely dances look like they've been rehearsed for centuries.
Gravity is the force that holds planets and moons in orbit around spiral galaxies. The gravitational pull from the galaxy's center keeps these objects in their orbit as they move through space.
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
No. The planets orbit the sun.
Stars and planets orbit around the most dense masses, that's why we orbit the sun. Our main source of evidence is that planets are orbiting and sometimes disappearing into what looks like nothing, but it is a black hole.
In that case, the black hole's gravitational pull on Earth will be less than the Sun's gravitational pull - you can do the calculations. However, such a black hole might very well disrupt the orbit of some of the planets.
Black holes are not typically found near planets in our Solar System. However, they can exist in other regions of the galaxy. If a black hole were to pass near a planet, it could have a significant gravitational influence on it.

There are no known planets in the vicinity of a black hole.
Quasars are not planets because they are not spherical and do not orbit a star. A quasar is a supermassive black hole in the process of consuming large amounts of matter.
A black hole
That depends how close the star is to a supermassive black hole. And how close they can be at the closest, without getting destroyed, would depend on the mass of the supermassive black hole. There are several stars that orbit Sag A* in a few years - something around 10-15 years. However, I think it is theoretically possible for a star to get even closer, and therefore orbit in less time.For information about orbits in general, take a look at Kepler's laws, especially Kepler's Third Law.
Yes, a planet can orbit a black hole. As long as the planet is within the black hole's gravitational pull but not inside its event horizon, it can orbit the black hole just like any other massive object orbiting around it due to gravity. The planet would need to maintain a stable orbit to avoid being pulled into the black hole.

They are unrelated.
