Tidal force
Videos
The tidal force or tide-generating force is the difference in gravitational attraction between different points in a gravitational field. It causes different parts of bodies to be pulled unevenly, so

A supermassive black hole is the largest type of black hole, with its mass being on the order of hundreds of thousands, or millions to billions, of times the mass of the Sun. Black holes are a class o
