A neutron star is smaller, but has a greater mass. A typical white dwarf is about the size of a terrestrial planet. A typical neutron star is a few miles across.

Which is bigger a neutron star or a white dwarf?

A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.


What is a cooled white dwarf star that is extremely dense?

A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.


What is the diameter of a a one solar mass white dwarf compared to a two solar mass neutron star?

A one solar mass white dwarf typically has a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers, while a two solar mass neutron star has a diameter of approximately 20 kilometers. Despite having a greater mass, the neutron star is significantly smaller in size due to its extreme density and the effects of neutron degeneracy pressure. In comparison, the white dwarf, being less dense, has a much larger diameter. Thus, the white dwarf is vastly larger in size than the neutron star, despite its lower mass.


What would be the size order of the astronomical objects Moon Neutron star White dwarf star and Galaxy?

Among the smallest astronomical objects is the neutron star, which is smaller than Earth's Moon, but larger than some. Next would be our Moon, followed by the shrunken White dwarf. Normal stars would then follow, and a galaxy is the largest , being a collection of millions or billions of stars. Neutron Star : as small as 20-24 km Moons : for Earth, 3400 km in diameter White Dwarf star : from about 5000 to 50000 km diameter Galaxies : 2000 to 100000 light-years across


What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf

Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?

No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.
