Question 204207: The Schwarzschild radius describes the critical value to which the radius of a massive body must be reduced fot it to become a black hole.
R= 2GM/c^2
where
G= gravitational constant 6.7x10^-11
M=mass of the object
C= speed of light 3x10^8
The sun has M= 2x10^30 What is Schwarzschild radius for the sun? [Note it's true radius is 700,000.]

The Schwarzschild radius describes the critical value to which the radius of a
massive body must be reduced for it to become a black hole.
R= 2GM/c^2
where
G= gravitational constant 6.7x10^-11
M=mass of the object
C= speed of light 3x10^8
The sun has M= 2x10^30

:
R =
:
Wouldn't just be:
R = = = = m
Which is about 3 km
