be strong plasma instead of a black hole, and that is why the gravity is so strong there?

  1. Plasma is matter and all matter and energy have gravity, so yes plasma has gravity.  Scientists are pretty sure the center of the Earth is liquid rock and metal.  I have no idea why you think it would be a plasma.  Didn't you ever notice rock (magma/lava) comes out of a volcano, not plasma?


  2. The gravity is just the attraction of 1 mass to another.

    The black hole in the center of the galaxy was created by a collapsing sun . The pieces were accelerated to the speed of light and its mass would go to infinity.

  3. Gravity is proportional to mass. Plasma is a gas and is much less dense than solid. An earth-sized ball of plasma would have much less mass than an earth-sized ball of rock, so the gravity would be weaker, not stronger.

  4. Could you not know physics?

    Could you be imagining rather than analyzing?

  5. yes, the sun consists of plasma and it has plenty of gravity.

    No, the center of the earth does not have enough energy

    no, we would recognize the diff between plasma and a black hole.  Plasma has just as much gravity as any other mass.

  6. Plasma is matter, so it has gravity, yes. All matter has gravity, it's just not too strong. When you get huge amounts of matter, like planets and stars, the mass is sufficient to create a strong gravity, which is then capable of attracting other matter.

    As far as I know, it's not known what's at the centre of the galaxy - there's only theories.

  7. "strong plasma?" no...everything produces gravity. anything with mass. you have gravity. "strong plasma" makes no sense because gravity depends on mass. you cant have plasma that for some reason has more gravity than a different kind of plasma of the same mass. its not how gravity works.
