We do not know of any planets that have been destroyed by a black hole, but it probably has happened. Because of the vast distances in space and the fact that neither planets nor black holes emit light, both are hard to detect.

What if a planet about the size of Jupiter or bigger got absorbed by a black hole?
The mass of the black hole would increase in proportion to the mass of the planet
Can a black hole consume a planet?
Yes, a black hole can consume a planet if it gets close enough to it. The strong gravitational pull of a black hole can tear a planet apart and capture its debris into its accretion disk. Ultimately, the planet's material is pulled into the black hole, adding to its mass.
Can a planet orbit a black hole and why?
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.
Can black holes kill planets?
Black holes do not actively seek out planets to destroy. However, if a planet were to get too close to a black hole, the intense gravitational forces could disrupt or even pull the planet into the black hole. So, in that sense, a black hole has the potential to "kill" a planet by tearing it apart.
What will happen to are earth in a black hole?
Should Earth ever collide with a black hole, it would get destroyed.
Is there a black hole on the planet Jupiter?
There is no black hole on the planet Jupiter, but there is a red spot.
Is a black hole the remains of a lost planet?
No. No planet is massive enough to become a black hole. A black hole is the remains of a dead, supermassive star.
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 a Black Hole a planet?
A black hole is the stellar remains of a massive star.
What is the second closest planet to a black hole?
There are no known planets in the vicinity of a black hole.
Has a black hole ever gone near to any planet?
That seems likely, considering the large number of black holes and of planets in the Universe. However, I am not aware of any specific observation of a planet falling into a black hole, for example. On the other hand, the likelyhood of a black hole getting close to Earth, withint any reasonable amount of time, is very low.

Can a black hole move a planet?
Yes, a black hole can move a planet. Black holes are so massive that they can alter the orbits of stars and star systems. This makes changing planetary motion nothing to a black hole.
Which black hole did you visit?
No one has ever visited a black hole.
Could black holes ever be technologicall created?
if you crush something the size of planet earth into something the size of a dime, it is tecnically "possible" to create a black hole.
Can a black hole get to the size of a planet?
A black hole can definitely get to the size of a planet. The width of the largest known supermassive black hole is thought to be over ten times the size of the entire orbit of Neptune around our Sun.
