What is the Schwarzschild Radius?
If you compress any mass M so tightly that its escape velocity equals c (speed of light), its actual radius equals R_s. Inside this radius, not even light is fast enough to climb out.
Target Mass (M):
5.97e24 kg
Physical Size (R):
6,371 km
Schwarzschild Radius (R_s):
8.87 mm
Scientific Insight
Gravitational Spacetime Bending
According to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, massive objects warp the geometry of spacetime. Photons, despite having no mass, travel along paths called geodesics which bend radically around the intense gravitational well of a black hole.
