We really can't "see" a black hole. What we "look" for is a high
concentration of x-ray emissions. Some of these places (possibly
black holes) are a cluster called M15 approx. 35,000 light years away.
The most popular one is Cygnus X-1 which is an eclipsing binary star
system approx. 10,000 light years away - the closest I know of.
The gravitational influence of a black hole extends infinitely. However, the region from which it can pull objects into its event horizon, known as the Schwarzschild radius, depends on the mass of the black hole. For example, a black hole with the mass of the Sun would have a Schwarzschild radius of about 3 kilometers.
This depends on how massive it is. Just like any other stellar object, the strength of its gravitational force and the distance within which its gravity influences other objects depends on its mass. For example, a black hole that has the same mass as our sun would have the same gravitational field as our sun.

How far is the Pluto from the black hole?
About as far as Earth or the Sun is.
What is the area beyond a black hole where black hole has stopped expanding and matter will no longer be pulled in?
The region beyond a black hole where it has stopped expanding and matter will not be pulled in is called the event horizon. Once matter crosses the event horizon, it cannot escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
Where does a black hole pull objects?
To its center of mass (the singularity)
What are objects from which light can not escape because of a gravitational pull at its surface?
A black hole. However, it does not have a surface but an event horizon.
Is a black hole strong enough to suck earth in?
If a black hole came close to our Earth, it would most definitely suck it in. But we wouldn't have much to worry about, since the x-rays radiating from the accretion disk surrounding a black hole would kill all life on our planet long before the black hole got here.
How strong is the black holes gravitational pull?
The strength of a black hole's gravity depends on the black hole's mass and how far your reference point is from the center of mass.
Does black hole sucks human?
A black hole sucks anything and everything that is in its gravitational pull.
What does it mean when light could not escape?
In the case of a black hole, the gravitational pull of the black hole is greater than the speed of light. Which means that the light is not fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
How do people get sucked into a black hole?
No human has ever come near a black hole. If one did, the intense gravitational pull of the black hole would pull them in and tear them to atoms, long before they reached the event horizon.
Is the super massive black hole the largest black hole?
Black hole is a location in space that possesses so much gravity, nothing can escape from its pull. Yes, Super massive black hole is the largest black hole.
When does a black hole suck things?
As soon as It's born. The gravitational force of the Black Hole will pull matter into it.
What is a star in which light cannot escape because of the immense gravitational pull at its surface called?
A star in which light cannot escape because of its immense gravitational pull at its surface is called a black hole.
What are the effects of black hole on other planets?
As the planet is approaching a black hole due to the immense gravitational pull on the objects surrounding it, the planet revolves around the black hole until it falls into the black hole.
Is it possible for a black hole to suck up a white hole?
Since whit holes only exist mathematically, a black hole could not pull in a white hole.
How far is the Pluto from the black hole?
About as far as Earth or the Sun is.
What is the area beyond a black hole where black hole has stopped expanding and matter will no longer be pulled in?
The region beyond a black hole where it has stopped expanding and matter will not be pulled in is called the event horizon. Once matter crosses the event horizon, it cannot escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
