← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when Earth approaches a black hole?
A)Spacetime distortion increases significantly near it.✓
B)Earth becomes bluer due increased speed.
C)Orbital speed gradually matches lightspeed.
D)Tidal forces cause gradual planetary cooling.
💡 Explanation
Spacetime distortion sharply increases near the event horizon because gravitational fields increasingly warp spacetime. Therefore time slows and lengths contract, rather than other relativistic effects dominating the interaction before destruction occurs.
