Well my friend, neutron stars are really compact and super dense, about the size of a small city or around 12 miles (19 kilometers) in diameter. To put it in simpler terms, a neutron star is about the size of Manhattan in New York City compared to the vast size of our beautiful Earth. Just imagine a tiny speck among the grand colossal canvas of the universe.

If the sun was replaced by a typical neutron star what would the angular diameter of the neutron star be as seen from earth?

The sun measures about 32 arc minutes as seen from earth. It is a big ball with a diameter of some 1.392 x 109 meters. Taking the sun away and sticking in a typical neutron star would mean substituting that big ball with something only some 20 to 40 kilometers in diameter. The neutron star is miniscule compared to the sun. A ball 30 kilometers in diameter is small compared to earth!We've reduced the problem to an exercise in mathematics. If the sun at 1.392 x 109 meters in diameter is replaced with something only 3 x 104 meters in diameter, then the neutron star will appear to have an angular diameter of 0.000000115 seconds of arc.Sun = 32 minutes of arcNeutron star = 0.000000115 seconds of arcIt would take a pretty big telescope to be able to resolve something as small as a neutron star at a distance of some 93 million miles. The object being sighted in on is pretty small.


Which diagram accurately depicts the scale of Earth and a neutron star?

Oh, what a fantastic question! Let's paint a picture with words. Imagine Earth as a tiny pebble and a neutron star as a gigantic mountain. That's how different their scales are - a beautiful balance of small and big in our cosmic scenery. Just marvel at the diversity and vastness of the universe, isn't it truly a masterpiece?

What happens when a star is too small to be a black hole but too big to be a neutron star?

There's no mass range that's between "collapses into a neutron star or pulsar" and "collapses into a black hole". It'll be one or the other.


What are neutron stars and how they form?

A neutron star is the collapsed remains of a supernova that wasn't quite big enough to become a black hole. It is an incredibly dense, white-hot pile of stellar ash - a teaspoon full of which would weigh hundreds of thousands of tons on earth.
