Heavy is a nebulous term. Neutron Stars would weigh no more than any other object of equivalent mass. (One ton of feathers weighs as much as one ton of bricks.) The difference is that neutron stars are much denser than most other forms of matter. This increased density comes from the fact that neutron stars are created from the collapse of a much larger star into a much smaller space on account of gravity.
What else can I help you with?
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
What is a Very small hot star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
What is a small hot very dense star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
Why are neutron stars blue?
Because when they are newly formed, they are very hot.
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.
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
Why are neutron stars white?
Early neutron stars are white because they are very hot. New neutron stars will have a surface temperature of around 1011 to 1012 degrees kelvin and will cool to around 1,000,000 degrees kelvin after a few years. Over time it will slowly cool even more.
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Neutron stars are born from massive stars collapsing, which conserves the original star's angular momentum. Since the original star had a slow rotation, the neutron star that forms from it will have a faster spin due to the conservation of angular momentum.
What has the author Carlos A Bertulani written?
Carlos A. Bertulani has written: 'Neutron star crust' -- subject(s): Neutron stars, Stars, Structure 'Nuclear physics in a nutshell' 'Nuclear Physics in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell)' 'Electromagnetic processes in relativistic heavy ion collisions'
What is a star that has collapsed after using its fuel?
A collapsed star after using up its fuel is called a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed when very massive stars collapse.
Is there a neutron star heading in your direction?
There are millions of stars out there; that includes neutron stars. All of them are moving around. Some are moving towards us, some are moving away from us. Since there is usually also a sideways component to the movement, and the average distance between stars is very large, it is very unlikely that any star - neutron star or otherwise - will crash into us any time soon.
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
