KnowraSchwarzschild radiusLinked fromLinked fromThe 12 pages that link to Schwarzschild radius, each with the reason it gives.All 12Broader topic 5Related 6Compared with 1Black holeBroader topic: It sets the horizon’s size from the black hole’s mass.Event horizonRelated: For a Schwarzschild black hole, the horizon lies at this characteristic radius.Escape velocityBroader topic: Setting Newtonian escape speed equal to light speed yields this radius, though the derivation is not relativistic.Schwarzschild metricBroader topic: It sets the characteristic length scale in the metric and equals 2GM/c².Compton wavelengthRelated: Comparing it with a particle’s Compton wavelength motivates the Planck scale as a quantum-gravity threshold.Planck lengthCompared with: Equating this gravitational radius with a particle’s Compton wavelength motivates the Planck scale.Karl SchwarzschildBroader topic: This characteristic radius is named for the solution Schwarzschild found.Sagittarius A*Related: The inferred mass sets the approximate scale of the region imaged around Sagittarius A*.Andrea M. GhezRelated: Constraining the mass inside a sufficiently small region helped establish that the central object is a black hole.Astronomical black holesBroader topic: It relates a black hole’s mass to the size of its event horizon.Buchdahl's theoremRelated: The theorem expresses its minimum stellar radius as a fraction of this scale.Micro black holeRelated: It sets the horizon’s scale and links a micro black hole’s mass to its size.
