Question

What is a Neuutron Star ?​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline\red{Neutron\:Star}$

• Neutron star is the collapsed core of a giant star which before collapse had a total mass of between 10 and 29 solar masses.

• Neutron stars are the smallest and densest stars, not counting black holes, hypothetical white holes, quark stars and strange stars.

• neutron star is about 20 km in diameter and has the mass of about 1.4 times that of our Sun.

• This means that a neutron star is so dense that on Earth, one teaspoonful would weigh a billion tons!

Answer 2

Neutron Star:-

A star has several phases throughout its life from birth through a nebula to its end. There are several ways in which a star can transform when it is about to exhaust its fuel depending upon its size and mass.

Neutron Star is one of them. When a giant star dies to form a Supernova and as well as collapses under its own weight, it forms a neutron star. They are believed to composed mainly of neutrons. They no longer produce heat and cool down over time. They are very dense.
