What is happening inside a neutron star?
A neutron star is the collapsed remains of a supernova. It is an incredibly dense - and incredibly hot - pile of stellar ash. What is happening in it is slow cooling. One well-known physicist (James S. Trefil) states that the full cooling of a neutron star would take longer than the current known age of the universe (15 billion years).
Will our sun become a black hole or a neutron star?
Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.
How long does it take after a star goes supernova does it become a black hole?
The supernova stage itself lasts only a few days or weeks. Once the star runs out of fuel, the collapse into a neutron star or black hole (depending on the remaining mass) should be quite sudden - whatever it takes for matter to fall toward the center.
How long would it take to get to a star?
it depends how far away the star is. it's not like we have the technology or anything anyway so....
How long does it take light from our nearest star to reach us?
Several thousand years.
How long does it take for a star to form after it explodes?
When a star explodes, that's the end of the star. The stellar remnant - either a neutron star or a black hole is created instantly.
What happens if a neutron star gets destroyed?
You can't just destroy it - it would take a huge amount of energy to tear it apart. About the only way I can think of to "destroy" it - in away - is that it collides with a black hole, and the mass of the neutron star becoming part of the black hole - or the neutron star itself becoming a black hole, if its mass increases (due to additional mass falling into the neutron star).
What is the meaning of a neutron star?
A neutron star is the remnant of a supernova explosion. Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons.A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius of about 12 kmA neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 millilitres) of its material would have a mass over 5 trillion kg. The force of gravity is so strong that an object falling from just one meter high would take a microsecond to hit the surface but at around 2,000 kilometres per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour.

What compound will have the subatomic particles so closely related that they take on a ridgid shape?
Neutronium. The substance of a Neutron star.

What is the densest thing in the universe and how does it compare to other celestial objects in terms of density?
The densest thing in the universe is a neutron star, which is formed when a massive star collapses in a supernova explosion. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, with a mass greater than that of the Sun packed into a sphere only about 12 miles in diameter. Their density is so extreme that a teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons on Earth. In comparison, neutron stars are much denser than other celestial objects like white dwarfs and even black holes.

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.

How long it take for a star to move?
Stars are constantly in movement.
