What is a collapsed star from which light cannot escape?

A black hole.


What is the sphere around a collapsed star from which light can not merge called?

It seems you are referring not to any collapsed star, but a black hole. The "event horizon" is the area from which nothing can escape.


A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?

The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.


What is a star in which light cannot escape because of the immense gravitational pull at its surface called?

It is a black hole - which is not a star.


What is the sphere around a collapsed star from which light can not emerge called?

That refers specifically to black holes (there are other types of "collapsed stars"). This sphere is called the "event horizon".


What are some astronomical terms and their meanings?

A black hole is a collapsed star that does not let light escape. A nebula is a mass of gas and dust that may collapse to form a star. A red giant is a star that has expanded and cooled. A white dwarf is an old, dense, cool star.


How is a neutron star different from a black hole?

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a star in which atoms have been crushed, and electrons have fused with protons to form neutrons. The collapse stops at this point. A neutron star is extremely dense but has a finite density and emits radiation. A black hole is an object that has collapsed completely to an infinitely dense point. It cannot really be considered matter at this point. Around this singularity is a region of extremely strong gravity and highly distorted spacetime from which nothing, not even light can escape.


What is a massive collapsed star?

A massive collapsed star is a dead star.


Do black holes have cooling outer layers?

A black hole is a collapsed star that is very small and a gravitational pull that is so strong that light cannot escape from it. No, they do not have outer colling layers. They just pull in anything that gets near it and crushes it to atoms. We can tell they exist by the effect they have on nearby objects.


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 a collapsed star ?

A collapsed star is a term used to describe a "dead" star, which is a star that has come to the end of its lifetime and just collapses on itself. A black hole


What Object in space that has so much gravity light can't escape?

A "black hole", theorized by Stephen Hawking as a point with gravity so high that the escape velocity would exceed the speed of light. At the time, it was a revolutionary concept; since then, astronomers have gathered evidence of several black holes.
