Which phenomenon distorts spacetime near a black hole?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because the intense mass-energy density of the black hole warps the local spacetime continuum, therefore light follows curved paths around the object, rather than traveling in a straight line; similarly sized regular objects do not result in lensing.
