Question
Why was the name black hole given?
Answer in Brief
Solution
The term "black hole" was coined because it absorbs all light rays and allows no light to escape. Black holes are hidden to the human eye because they emit and reflect no light. As a result, they appear as a black void or "hole" in space, with light from surrounding objects visible but the black hole remaining dark.
