Br is the atom with the smallest. K+ is the ion with the smallest radius. In general, the shape with the smallest radius has the smallest diameter

What prevents neutron stars from contracting to a smaller size?
Neutron degeneracy pressure, in which the neutrons themselves prevents further collapse.
What country is roughly the size of France?
Somalia is closest to size as that of France.
Which state is closest in size to India?
India is almost 1/3 of state of California
How do neutron stars form?
When a medium-size star runs out of fuel (hydrogen to fuse into helium), it will collapse on itself. It has a large enough mass that it can push past the resistance from electron degeneracy pressure. When it collapses more, it will get stopped by neutron degeneracy pressure. It will settle at a star that is about 20 kilometers in diameter. The star fuses protons with electrons, and these form neutrons to make a kind of "neutron soup".
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.
What planet is the closest in size to the Moon?
Mercury. The average radius of the Moon is about 1700 km, which is about three-quarters the average radius of Mercury (around 2300 km).
What planet is closest to Eath's size?
In our solar system, Venus is closest to Earth's size - just slightly smaller at 95% of Earth's radius.
Which planet is same size as Uranus?
Neptune is the closest in radius to Uranus, at about 740km or 3% smaller.
What planet is the size of earth's moon?
The only planet close in size to the moon is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The mean radius of the moon is 1737.10 km The mean radius of Mercury is 2439.7 km There are many dwarf planets that are close in size to the moon, but that would be another question.
Radius and mass allow scientist to determine what planetery property?
Once you know their distances, you can determine basic properties of the planets such as mass, size, you can determine its linear diameter.
A planet closet in size to earth?
Venus is a planet that is closest in size to Earth. It has similar bulk composition and gravity to Earth too.
Can a star be the size of a grape?
The smallest object that can reasonably be called a "star" is a neutron star, which is pretty small but still much, much larger than a grape, at about 10-12 km radius.

Why do you square the radius when finding the area of a circle?
Whether you are finding the area of a circle or the area of a square or any other geometrical shape, it is always the case that to go from a linear measurement (a radius, a side, or whatever) to a surface area requires you to use a square of the linear measurement; you are increasing size in two dimensions, length and width, and therefore the effect is the increase the area exponentially, not linearly.
Which is bigger a neutron star or a subgiant star?
Considering a neutron star is about the size of a city, a subgiant is way bigger.
