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.
Why will the sun never become a neutron star?
The Sun will never leave behind a stellar remnant such as a neutron star, as it does not have enough mass to achieve the massive pressures required to make one. Our Sun will end up as a white dwarf stellar remnant.
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
What is the approximate atomic mass of a neutron?
The relative mass of a neutron compared with a proton is one.
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.
Do the sun will eventually become a neutron star?
No, unless it somehow acquires more mass. It requires more mass to become a neutron 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.
Will the sun turn into a neutron star?
No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become neutron stars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
Can a neutron star become a nebula?
No, a neutron star can't become a nebula. A neutron star is not made of atomic matter, has less mass than a nebula, and has no mechanism by which to expand.
What is the difference between stars that become dwarf stars and stars that become neutron stars?
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
Why will the sun never become a neutron star?
The Sun will never leave behind a stellar remnant such as a neutron star, as it does not have enough mass to achieve the massive pressures required to make one. Our Sun will end up as a white dwarf stellar remnant.
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
Do medium size stars become black holes?
No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.
Could an average stars such as our sun become a neutron star?
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
What is the approximate atomic mass of a neutron?
The relative mass of a neutron compared with a proton is one.
Mass of a neutron?
Neutron has mass nearly 1,840 times the mass of the electron.
