Comment on That explains a lot

  Wouldn’t a Jupiter-mass black hole have the same gravitational effects as Jupiter and absolutely nothing would be affected?

    Yup

    If you were very, very close to it, not exactly, since Jupiter’s mass is more spread out, making the gravitational pull slightly weaker at close range. But for practical purposes yeah nothing would change for us.

    My point was more that we’d probably have to increase the mass to be able to make it a black hole, as we don’t have the ability to compress it to a singularity.

  Black holes aren’t vacuums, nothing would change if the mass was equivalent

    Yes, but you’d more than likely have to increase the mass of Jupiter to make it a black hole.

      That wasn’t part of the hypothetical though
