This is astronomy and This is 20 points

What might happen if you were able to travel closer and closer towards a black hole?

Answer 1

If you were able to travel closer to a black hole, you would be stretched out in some directions and in others you would be squished. Scientists call this event spaghettification. The gravitational pull in a black hole is so strong that it compresses your body horizontally while also pulling it vertically.

I hope this helps! This was my answer on my assignment and it was marked correct. :)

Answer 2

If you jumped into the black hole feet first, the gravitational force on your toes would be much stronger than that pulling on your head. Each bit of your body would also be elongated in a slightly different direction. You would literally end up looking like a piece of spaghetti.
