Magnitude - sheer size.
A quark is tiny - it takes 3 to make a single proton.
A quasar is a "quasi star" and is actually an entire galaxy with its core on fire
(not actual fire with flames, but in the act of constantly blowing up).

Is down quark heavier than up quark because neutron is heavier than proton?

The two are related, yes, but technically it would be more accurate to say it the other way around: "Neutrons are heavier than protons because down quarks are heavier than up quarks" Neutrons are composed of an up quark and two down quarks (udd). Protons are composed of two up quarks and one down quark (uud), so the difference in mass between a proton and neutron is (roughly) the same as the difference in mass between the neutron's down quark and the proton's matching up quark. Because a down quark is heavier than an up quark, it is also possible for a down quark to decay into an up quark (releasing an electron in the process). This is how beta radiation occurs in atomic nuclei. One of the neutrons' down quarks decays into an up quark, changing that neutron into a proton, and releasing an electron (as radiation), so another way to look at it would be that a down quark is an up quark that has an electron trapped inside it (the mass of the electron, plus the energy required to "trap" it there, is what makes the down quark heavier).

What are some science words that begin with the letters q?

There are three scientific words that actually starts with Q. Quantum, Quantum Mechanics and Quark. Quantum is defined as portion, Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that studies about the behavior of atom and Quark is a set of six elementary particles that have electric charges.


The difference in mass between protons and neutrons is generally regarded as?

The difference in mass between protons and neutrons is very small, with protons being slightly lighter than neutrons. This mass difference is due to the composition of protons and neutrons, where protons are made up of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of two down quarks and one up quark.


What is is the Relationship between quark and subatomic particle?

A quark is a kind of subatomic particle, and 3 quarks makes up another subatomic particle (a baryon). A quark and an anti-quark make up another kind of sub-atomic particle, (a meson).

Which force acts between an up quark and an electron?

The force that acts between an up quark and an electron is the electromagnetic force. The interaction is due to the electric charges of the quark (+2/3) and the electron (-1), causing them to attract each other through the exchange of virtual photons.
