    Watched a program about black holes the other day, that was pretty scary too. Millions of them in our own solar system, and they suck in anything they get close to.

    I assume you mean millions in our galaxy. If there were millions in our solar system, I doubt we would have a solar system.

    Well, I don't know the difference between a galaxy and a solar system and a universe, but they were talking about where our planet is, and our sun, and the other planets we always hear about. Nasty sounding things, those black holes.

    Well black holes have such a strong gravitational pull, that even light cannot escape them. We wouldn't last long if there was one inside Pluto's orbit.
