What else can I help you with?
What prevents neutron stars from contracting to a smaller size?
Neutron degeneracy pressure, in which the neutrons themselves prevents further collapse.
What country is roughly the size of France?
Somalia is closest to size as that of France.
Which state is closest in size to India?
India is almost 1/3 of state of California
How do neutron stars form?
When a medium-size star runs out of fuel (hydrogen to fuse into helium), it will collapse on itself. It has a large enough mass that it can push past the resistance from electron degeneracy pressure. When it collapses more, it will get stopped by neutron degeneracy pressure. It will settle at a star that is about 20 kilometers in diameter. The star fuses protons with electrons, and these form neutrons to make a kind of "neutron soup".
What American state is Finland closest to in size?
Finland is about 3,5% of the size of the United States.
What planet is the closest in size to the Moon?
Mercury. The average radius of the Moon is about 1700 km, which is about three-quarters the average radius of Mercury (around 2300 km).
Which is bigger a neutron star or a subgiant star?
A subgiant star is bigger than a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and compact, with a radius of about 10-15 kilometers, while subgiant stars have a larger radius of several million kilometers.
What planet is closest to Eath's size?
In our solar system, Venus is closest to Earth's size - just slightly smaller at 95% of Earth's radius.
What is the significance of a neutron star having a radius the size of a city?
A neutron star having a radius the size of a city is significant because it is incredibly dense and compact, packing a mass greater than that of the sun into a small space. This extreme density results in intense gravitational forces and unique physical properties, making neutron stars important objects for studying the laws of physics under extreme conditions.
What planet is the size of earth's moon?
The only planet close in size to the moon is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The mean radius of the moon is 1737.10 km The mean radius of Mercury is 2439.7 km There are many dwarf planets that are close in size to the moon, but that would be another question.
Is neutron star bigger than nebula?
No. A neutron star is quite small, generally only a few miles across. A nebula is light years across.
Which other planet in the solar system closest in size to the earth?
Venus is closest to the Earths size and mass - often referred to as Earths sister or twin planet. Venus' Mass is around 82% of Earths, while its diameter is a little smaller than Earths at around 95% of Earths diameter.
Radius and mass allow scientist to determine what planetery property?
Once you know their distances, you can determine basic properties of the planets such as mass, size, you can determine its linear diameter.
A planet closet in size to earth?
Venus is a planet that is closest in size to Earth. It has similar bulk composition and gravity to Earth too.
Can a star be the size of a grape?
The smallest object that can reasonably be called a "star" is a neutron star, which is pretty small but still much, much larger than a grape, at about 10-12 km radius.
How is ionic radius measured?
Ionic radius is typically measured as the distance between the nuclei of two adjacent ions in a crystal lattice. This is usually estimated using X-ray crystallography or neutron diffraction techniques. The size of an ion is influenced by its electron configuration and the charge it carries.
What is about 20 km in size?
neutron star
