Answer:

The Earth weighs 5.972 × 10^24 kg

The Sun is 94.022 million miles away.

A black hole is is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.

I hope this helps!! :)

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The weight of the earth can be calculated and estimated by the physicist by considering the mass of the earth and the knowlegde of gravity.

If the mass of the earth is considered to be 6 × 10^24 kg. Then with Physics formula and some mathematical techniques, we can conclude that the weight of the earth is approximately equal to 6 × 10^25 N.

2.) The distance of the sun to the earth is approximately 1.5 × 10^8 km. This measure is the distance from the surface of the earth to the sun.

3.) The black hole is approximately the size of the earth of very large gravitational field strength. It is a region of space of enormous gravity where no particular object can escape from it. Even electromagnetic radiation or light cannot escape from it.
