A collapsed star whose gravity is 100000 times stronger than earth's?
Neutron Star
What happens when the gravity of a massive star overcomes neutron degeneracy pressure?
The core contracts and becomes a black hole.
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.
What happens during a supernova?
If the mass of the dead star is high enough, gravity will overcome electron degeneracy pressure holding the dead star up. Electrons will fall from their ground state into the nuclei, turning protons into neutrons and all the nuclei will merge forming a neutron star held up by neutron degeneracy pressure. If it stops here, the infalling outer layers that have not yet become neutrons crash into the super hard surface of the neutron star initiating a shockwave that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.If the mass of the neutron star is high enough, gravity will overcome neutron degeneracy pressure holding the neutron star up. A black hole will form. However all of the neutron star can't fall into the black hole instantly. A shockwave forms just outside the event horizon that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.
What happens when the gravity of a massive star is ablle to overcome neutron degeneration?
When the gravity of a neutron star overcomes the degeneracy pressure of the neutrons, the neutron star collapses into a black hole.
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.

Does a neutron star have gravity?
The most immense gravity for it's size of any single object in the universe. If it had been a slightly larger star before it went supernova and wound up as a neutron star, it would have collapsed into a black hole - where not even light could escape it's gravity.
What is formed by a star that collapses under gravity to the point that its electrons and protons form neutrons?
A neutron star.neutron star
What cause a neutron star to form?
The strong gravity of the core of a dead high-mass star causes a neutron star to form. When the high-mass star becomes a supernova and leaves a core behind, the core no longer undergo fusion. Without fusion, gravity starts to push the core inward until most protons and electrons are crushed into neutrons, a neutron star forms. If the core is too massive, the neutron star would collapse and become a black hole.
Why do you not expect to find a 5 solar mass neutron star?
There are no neutron stars with 5 solar masses because one if a neutron star exceeds 3 solar masses, the neutrons inside would no longer be able to support the extreme gravity, so the neutron star would then collapse into a black hole.A neutron star is prevented from further collapse by a force call neutron degeneracy pressure. Above 3 solar masses gravity will overcome this force and the stellar remnant will collapse completely to form a black hole.
Why does a neutron star make you so incredibly heavy?
Your weight depends on your mass and the strength of the gravity where you are. A neutron star has a mass 2-3 times that of the sun compacted into a very small area, resulting in a surface gravity billions of times stronger than on Earth. As a result, at the surface of a neutron star you would weigh several billion times what you do now.
How is the neutron star different from a black hole?
A neutron star is the remnant of a massive star. It consists of an extremely dense collection of neutrons that is prevented from collapsing further by neutron degeneracy pressure. While they have extremely strong gravity, neutron stars still emit light. A black hole is an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity, forming an infinitely dense singularity. Within certain radius, nothing, not even light escapes.
How are black hole different from neutron star?
A neutron star is an extremely dense object in which atoms have been crushed by gravity, causing electrons and protons to merge into neutrons. A force known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents it from collapsing further. The neutron star can emit light and other forms of radiation. A black hole is an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity, with all mass coming to a single point called a singularity. The gravity is so strong that, within a certain radius nothing, not even light, can escape.
How can a neutron star in a binary star system become a black hole?
In this particular case the binary companion star can keep "feeding" mass into the neutron star, thus increasing its mass and gravity. It's one possible mechanism for the creation of a black hole - a neutron star in a binary system forms at a time when neutron degeneracy pressure was sufficient to prevent further collapse, but with additional mass it is no longer adequate and the neutron star would collapse further into a more exotic form like a quark star or a black hole.
Is formed by a star that collapes gravity?
It seems there are three options: a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. Which of the three will occur depends on the remaining mass of the star.
