  • Black Hole Mass vs. Solar Mass: Understanding the Scale
    The mass of the Sun, also known as one solar mass (M☉), is approximately equal to 2×10^30 kilograms. Stellar black hole masses typically range from a few times the mass of the Sun to several tens of times the mass of the Sun. Supermassive black holes, found at the centers of most galaxies, can have masses billions or even trillions of times greater than the mass of the Sun. So the answer to your question depends on the specific black hole you are referring to. For example, the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy has a mass of about 4.31×10^6 M☉, which means it is about 4.31 million times more massive than the Sun.
