k buddy i'll my best to explain this...
you know there are a lot of stars in the universe.. these stars are classified according to their existence.... when a star is too old..there would be some reaction going on in the star.. this results in the explosion of the star.. this explosions sometimes creates a black hole.. this black hole is an area of very high gravitational field.. so what ever passes through its path.. gets absorbed by it.. it is said that even light cannot escape a black hole..

How does it attract light towards it self and what happens when something get into a black hole?

not quite true. things do escape from black holes, and its actually a fairly common occurence. Hubble takes pics of it all the time. There are particle jets that are emitted perpendicular from a black hole, and this consists of a super-heated mixture of gases (vapors technically) that theoretically shouldn't be gas because it is hot enough to become plasma.
also, not all stars, not even 5% of all the stars, have the potential to become a black hole. only the largest classification of stars can become black holes.
basically, super-super-supergiant star runs out of hydrogen to burn, and starts burning the next-lightest element, helium. then after a stream of this, other elements burn, it super-heats, the outter shells explode off, the super-dense core attracts everything that blew off back to it, it compresses, etc. etc.
all of this=black hole. still just a dense mass. not infinite, just too large for us to understand.

blak holes are formed after end of a star,you know that every molecule has a attraction power hence they get attracted by each other and gains a high mass
the mass is so hihg that light too cant come out from its attracting power
