The neutron star's density varies from below 1×109 kg/m3 in the crust increasing with depth to above 6×1017 or 8×1017 kg/m3 deeper insideThis density is approximately equivalent to the mass of the entire human population compressed into the size of a sugar cube.

Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?
It depends on the density. Low density = dwarf Medium density = neutron star High density = black hole
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.
Which state of matter has highest density?
The singularity in a black hole, then comes the material in a neutron star.
Is the density of a neutron star the same as the sun?
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.
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.
Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?
No. A neutron star is many times denser than a white dwarf.
What is a dead star with the density of an atomic nuclei called?
neutron star
Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?

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.
How strong are neutron stars?
Strong is not a term used for a neutron star. If you mean density, then see related question.
What is the density of the neutron star?
A typical neutron star - if there is a typical one - has the density of about 3.7×1017 to 5.9×1017 kg/m3. The Earth for comparison has a density of 5.515 g/cm3 To put that into perspective, a neutron star has the mass of the entire human population, squashed down to the size of a sugar cube, or one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of neutron star would have 900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Or imagine squeezing 50 million elephants into a thimble that is the density of a neutron star. Another way of understanding it, is:- if you were (you can't) standing on a neutron star, and you laid a sheet of paper down, the effort required to climb the edge of the paper would be the equivalent of climbing a 3,000 mile cliff on Earth!
Is the density of a neutron star about the same as that of a white dwarf?
See related questions
Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a white dwarf?
The density of a pulsar or neutron star is much greater than that of a white dwarf. A typical (if there is such a thing) neutron star has a density of between 8.4 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 kg/m3 whereas a white dwarf has a density of about 1 × 109 kg/m3
Which state of matter has highest density?
The singularity in a black hole, then comes the material in a neutron star.
How do neutron stars differ from super giants stars?
I suggest you do some reading on both, to get an idea what a neutron star really is, and what a supergiant is. For a start, some differences are: their diameter; their density; the fact that a neutron star no longer produces any energy.
Is the density of a neutron star the same as the sun?
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 mass of piece of neutron star with a radius of 0.10mm?
Assuming it is spherical, such a fragment would have a volume of 4.19x10^-6 cm^3. A neutron star has a density on the order of 5x10^14 g/cm^3. At this density, the fragment would have a mass of roughly 2000 metric tons.
