Is a neutron star the same as a nuclear star?

Answer 1

I don't think a think like a "proton star" exists. At least, it is not something of common knowledge for astronomers.

A neutron star, or pulsar, is an extremely dense star - imagine a star the mass of our Sun, compressed to a diameter of 20-30 km., due to its own gravity. A teaspoonfull of this matter has a mass of millions of tons.

Answer 2

A neutron star is an extremely dense, compact star composed primarily of neutrons, especially the collapsed core of a supernova. The lightest of neutron stars is at least twice as heavy as the sun, and is way hotter. If the sun were a neutron star, it would likely be much older than it is and would have had a supernova, which would have evaporated the planets and there'd be no solar system. It might even produce some gamma ray bursts which, even from extremely far away from our solar system, could wipe out the earth if one were pointed at us. So, no, definitely not.
No.

Answer 3

Supergiant stars are dying stars that still undergo nuclear fusion, they are made up of hydrogen and some other elements such as oxygen and magnesium. Neutron stars are exposed cores of supergiant stars, they are made up of neutrons, and they cannot undergo nuclear fusion.Supergiant stars are aging stars that is almost at the end of their life, they still undergo nuclear fusion, supergiants are bright, and they are mainly made up of hydrogen and other elements. Neutron stars are the exposed core of supergiant stars, neutron stars don't undergo fusion, they are dim, and they are mainly made up of neutrons.

Answer 4

No, a neutron star is a dense remnant of a massive star that has undergone a supernova explosion. It is composed mostly of neutrons. A nuclear star, on the other hand, is a theoretical concept where nuclear reactions occur at its core to sustain its energy output without undergoing stellar fusion.

Answer 5

Mainly its enormous density. A neutron star has a mass greater than that of our Sun, packed into a diameter of 20 or 30 km.

Answer 6

No. Neutron stars are not composed of an element it preforms fusion on, it is made of densely packed neutrons.
