A neutron star is the remnant of a supernova explosion. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.
A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius of about 12 km
A neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 millilitres) of its material would have a mass over 5 trillion kg. The force of gravity is so strong that an object falling from just one meter high would take a microsecond to hit the surface but at around 2,000 kilometres per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour.

∙ 16y agoA neutron star is composed primarily of neutrons, according to theory. This extremely dense star is formed when a star explodes in what is called a (Type II, Type Ib, or Type Ic) supernova. A link to the Wikipedia article on the neutron star is provided.

All neutron stars, when formed will spin rapidly - only after an incredibly long time will they stop spinning.
However, are you confused with a pulsar - which is a neutron star.

∙ 10y agoNeutron Star:The Stellar cores that remain after the stars have exploded as supernovae. Then if the core remaining is in between 1.5 to 3 solar mass (It is the mass of our sun) it contracts to form a neutron star.
Pulsar:A spinning neutron star emits radio waves commonly known as a pulsar.

A neutron star is when a star explodes and creates a supernova.
But there is something left... A NEUTRON STAR!

What is a single point where all matter from an extremely massive neutron star has condensed and from which no light can escape?
Black hole
A neutron star that rotates rapidly and emits light?
It's called a pulsar. However - ALL young neutron stars emit the said beam. It's only if that beam is detectable on Earth is it called a pulsar. So a Neutron Star and a Pulsar are the same thing. See related questions. but then again they are different.
What is the origin of the element of gold?
All the gold that exists on the Earth can only be formed by a nuclear reaction. These nuclear reactions occurred in an exploding star (called a supernova) before the Earth itself existed. Most gold, however, is thought to have originated during collisions of neutron stars due to gold's neutron rich make-up as well as the known energy levels needed to create it. This may help to explain its rarity since neutron star collisions are rare. The cloud of gas and dust from supernovas and neutron star collisions contained all the elements that are present on earth today. This cloud eventually condensed into the Sun and the Solar System.
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
What is a sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
What is a good sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
Is the neutron star a young star?
No. A neutron star ts the remnant of a massive star that exploded.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
How does a neutron star differ from a main sequence star?
A neutron star is a stellar remnant
What is spinning neutron star called?
It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.
When a collapsed core becomes so dense only neutrons can exist there a what is formed?
A Neutron Star
What is A rapidly spinning neutron is called?
A young neutron star. Really - that is what a neutron star is. If the neutron star's magnetic field is pointed towards Earth, then it is referred to as a pulsar - because of it's rapid pulsations [See related question] but it is still a neutron star.
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
What is the temperature of the core of a neutron star?
Depends on the age of the neutron star. As a neutron star no longer has any method to produce heat, it will slowly cool over time. A young neutron star will have a core temperature of about 106 kelvin.
Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?
Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.
