What is the mass of a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius of $1.5 \mathrm{km} ?$
Supermassive black holes are thought to exist in the centers of some galaxies. What would be the Schwarzschild radii of black holes of 1 million and 1 billion solar masses? How does the first black hole compare in size with the Sun? How does the second compare in size with the solar system?
