No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become pulsars. The sun will become a white dwarf.

Could the sun be a pulsar?

No. A pulsar contains the mass of the Sun, squeezed into a ball 20km (12 1/2 miles) across

A Pulsar


Are pulsar star found in the solar system?

No. There is only one star in our Solar System, the Sun and it is not a pulsar.

A Pulsar.


Was a pulsar discovered near the sun?

Doubtful. The nearest pulsar to us is Geminga at over 815 light years or PSR J0437-4715 at 510 light years.


What would happen if your sun was replaced by a pulsar?

We would all be killed in the supernova explosion that created the pulsar out of our Sun. The Earth itself would be vaporized. Any returning space travelers would be fried by the intense pulses of gamma radiation that give the "pulsar" or "pulsing gamma ray source" its name. However, this cannot happen - because our Sun isn't nearly massive enough to go supernova.

Which is better pulsar 135 or pulsar 150?

First of all, the main distinguishing factor between Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 135 is the cost. Pulsar 150, as the name says, 150cc has more power, pick up and speed when compared to Pulsar 135. But, pulsar 135 has also got the equivalent features of Pulsar 150. (Because of the latest technology) In a nutshell, Pulsar 135 is a lite version of Pulsar 150. And, my opinion, Pulsar 150 is better...


What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?

A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.


Was the sun made by a pulsar?

Our Sun is at least a 3rd generation star; the solar system formed from the debris blasted into space by countless - or at least, unknowable - numbers of supernova explosions of old dead stars. Some of those could well have left stellar cores that were pulsars. But it's unlikely that any of the Sun's mass was ever in a pulsar; the mass contained in a pulsar is so tightly bound by gravity that it is unlikely that any could ever escape. About the only way that any pulsar mass might have escaped would be if two neutron stars (and a pulsar is just a spinning neutron star) were to collide. Some of the mass might escape from the explosion, which would probably create a black hole as the result.
