Where Are Black Holes Located?
Black Holes Are a Class of Astronomical Object That Have Undergone Gravitational Collapse, Leaving Behind Spheroidal Regions of Space from Which Nothing Can...

Just so, where is the nearest black hole to Earth?
To make it easier to compare distances, our nearest star aside from the Sun – Proxima Centauri – is about 4.24 light years away and our Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter.
Additionally, what is inside a black hole? Black holes are generally defined as "a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because [the] matter has been squeezed into a tiny space." - NASA. As light is unable to escape the holes' gravity it appears completely black - hence the name.
Accordingly, where are black holes most commonly found?
There is consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centers of most galaxies. The presence of a black hole can be inferred through its interaction with other matter and with electromagnetic radiation such as visible light.
What happens if a person goes into a black hole?
The gravitational field becomes so strong that not even light can escape, rendering the region where the star used to be profoundly dark: a black hole. As you go deeper into the black hole, space becomes ever more curvy until, at the centre, it becomes infinitely curved.
