A main sequence star is what is considered a typical star. Such stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They produce energy by fusing hydrogen into helium in their cores. Main sequence stars vary greatly in mass and range from a few hundred thousand to a few million kilometers across. Our sun is a main sequence star of intermediate mass.

A neutron star is the collapsed remnant of the core of a large star that was destroyed in a supernova explosion. A neutron star has a mass of about 2-3 times that of the sun compacted by gravity into an area less than 40 kilometers across, making it extremely dense. A neutron star is mostly composed of neutrons.

Is a neutron star on the main sequence?

No, neutron stars are not on the main sequence. They are the remnants of massive stars that have undergone supernova explosions and have collapsed under their own gravity, resulting in a highly dense core composed primarily of neutrons.

What is bigger a neutron star r main sequence stars?

If you refer to the diameter, a neutron is tiny - only 20-30 kilometers in diameter. In comparison, main sequence stars have a diameter of at least several hundred thousand kilometers.


What is the difference between sequence diagram and communication diagram?

The main difference between communication diagrams and sequence diagrams is that sequence diagrams are good at showing sequential logic but not that good at giving you a "big picture view" whereas communication diagrams are the exact opposite

Which star is larger neutron star or subgiant star?

A subgiant star is larger than a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and compact remnants of massive stars, while subgiant stars are in a transitional phase between main sequence and red giant stages, typically larger and more diffuse than neutron stars.

What is the two difference between 6C12 and 6C14?

The main difference between carbon-12 (6C12) and carbon-14 (6C14) is the number of neutrons they have in their nuclei. Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 has 8 neutrons. This difference in neutron number affects the stability and radioactive properties of the two isotopes.
