Neutrons stars are smallest stars in the Universe, with diameters of just 10-30 km! They are very compact and denese bodies, formed during a supernova explosion. When the tiny particles of the exploded star-atoms merge together, a neutron star is born. During this process of merging, electrons in the atoms are squeezed with protons, whch results in the formation of neutrons. This merging occurs because of the intense gravitational collapse. Once the star is formed, it is regular as any other star, barring its size and weight. It is so dense that is a sugar cube sized portion of the star would weigh as much as the people on Earth. It has a very powerful magmetic feild, and spins about 100 times a second.

∙ 11y agoThe first step in the process from nebula to black hole is the collapse of the nebula under the pressure of gravity to form a proto-star. The forces acting on the star will have to be high enough to start hydrogen fusion, and given the size a star needs to be to end it's life as a black hole there may be heavier element fusion.
When the star has reacted all available fuel it will explode before contracting rapidly, with a star of sufficient size the density as it contracts will become high enough for the formation of a black hole.

Is a nebula different than a black hole?
It most certainly is. A nebula is a cloud of dust, hydrogen, and other gases where a black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape
When a red dwarf dies does it make a nebula?
Yes, but it can also make a black hole or a white dwarf.
Where will you go if you fall in to a black hole?
Into the black hole's singularity.
Could the bug nebula's central star turn into a black hole?
Because the bug nebula's (NGC 6302) central star, a white dwarf, is only about two thirds solar mass, it is unlikely to become a black hole. It would need to be about five times its current mass to overcome degeneracy pressure.
Can a space ship go through a black hole without crashing?
there is no way for a ship to go through a black hole because the black hole rips the atoms from the object the come to it and spreads all the atoms around the black hole
What is the sun formed out of a pulsar black hole super gaint or nebula?
Nebula. according to nasa.
Is a nebula different than a black hole?
It most certainly is. A nebula is a cloud of dust, hydrogen, and other gases where a black hole is a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape
Is a black hole stronger than the crab nebula?
I'm not sure what you mean, but in luminescence, the crab nebula trumps black holes infinitely. However, if the two met, the black hole would still be around the next day.
What is the spiral galaxy made of?
Stars, nebula, and a super-massive black hole at it's center.
Select the star life cycle that is accarate?
Nebula, white dwarf, red giant, black hole
When a red dwarf dies does it make a nebula?
Yes, but it can also make a black hole or a white dwarf.
Where will you go in a black hole it?
If you fall into a black hole, you'll go into the black hole and nowhere else.
How is a nebula linked to a black hole?
When a nebula collapses under the right conditions it forms a star. Larger stars end their life-cycle as black holes. For more information try searching for "stellar evolution."
What do red giants become after they run out of fuel?
They explode as a supernova/hypernova to form a planetary nebula/black hole.
Is a star bigger than a nebula?
A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen and helium gas and plasma. A Nebula can be over 2.5 million light years across. The largest star is a mere 1.7 billion miles in diameter
What is the name of the remnants of a star when it explodes?
3 outcomes. 1: Black Hole 2: Neutron Star 3: Nebula
Where will you go if you fall in to a black hole?
Into the black hole's singularity.
