No. Neutron stars are far MORE DENSE than the Sun's core. If the Sun were twice its actual mass, and if it were to collapse into a ball around 10 miles in diameter, THEN it would be as dense as a neutron star.
Compared to a neutron star, the Sun is like a mist of hydrogen, a sort of fog.

What is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?
An object of one solar mass cannot become a neutron star.
Can the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. The Sun is of fairly ordinary mass, and isn't NEARLY big enough to undergo a supernova explosion that would collapse the core to neutron star density. In fact, the minimum mass for a star that will die that way is about 3 times the mass of the Sun.
Does the sun eventually become a neutron star?
As far as we know, the sun will never become a neutron star. it will eventually become a Red Giant and then it will eventually become a white dwarf
How is a white dwarf different form a neutron star?
A neutron star has slightly more mass than a white dwarf. This results in higher gravitational attraction. As a result, in a white dwarf, the star's mass (roughly the mass of the Sun - may vary in different white dwarves) has a diameter of a few thousand kilometers, and a density of a few tonnes per cubic centimeter. The neutron star, on the other hand, has a diameter of only 20-30 kilometers, and a density of millions of tonnes per cubic centimeter. For comparison, water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, other substances around us have similar densities; so the density of a white dwarf is millions of times the density of water, while a neutron star has billions of times the density of water.
What is the diameter in km of the dwarf star?
There are many types of Dwarf stars - all with different diameters. Our Sun is a dwarf star! A typical neutron star has a diameter of about 24km our Sun has a diameter of 1.392×106 km So our Sun is about 58,000 times bigger than a neutron star.

What is a good ratio example of an average neutron star to our sun?
A typical neutron star has a diameter of about 24km our Sun has a diameter of 1.392×106 km So our Sun is about 58,000 times bigger than a neutron star.
Is there a neutron star have that is closer to the earth or the sun?
No. The closest neutron star is over 434 light years away.
Will our sun end up like a neutron star?
No, our sun won't end up like a neutron star. When our sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf, a very dense object but far less dense than a neutron star.
Could a neutron star be bigger than the sun?
No. While a neutron star has more mass than the sun, it is compressed into a very small area about the size of a city.

How are neutron stars formed?
Neutron stars are formed when stars with more than 8 times the mass of the Sun run out of fuel and explodes as a supernova. After the star explodes, the core of the star remains, the core would then become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core remain is less than 3 times the mass of the sun, it would become a neutron star.
