The Schwarzschild radius r of a black hole is given by
r = 2GM/c^2
where G is Newton's gravitational constant 6.67 * 10^-11 m^3 / (s^2 * kg),
M is the mass of the black hole, and c is the speed of light, 3 * 10^8 m/s.
Look up some masses and plug them in. This isn't really the distance to
the center of the black hole, which is not well defined, but 2 pi r and
4 pi r^2 give you the circumference and surface area of the black hole.

They have mass and gravity. Matter falling into a black hole will get much
hotter than the sun, but if a black hole had nothing falling into it, the
only radiation coming out would be Hawking radiation, which is extremely
faint for typical-sized black holes, and therefore extremely cool.
