How heavy is a neutron star

A neutron star is a very small and dense star made almost completely of neutrons. They are small stars with a radius of about 11–11.5 kilometres.

They have a mass of about twice that of the Sun. They are the smallest and densest stars known to exist in the Universe.^[1] They are what is left of a huge star which exploded as a supernova.

The density of the star is like that of the nucleus of an atom.

They have strong magnetic fields, between 10⁸ and 10¹⁵ times as strong as that of Earth. The gravitational field at the neutron star's surface is about 2×10¹¹ times stronger than on Earth.

To imagine how dense a neutron star is, take all of the mass of our sun (which has a diameter of 1,392,000 kilometres (865,000 mi)) and push it down into a size that would fit into a ball with a 19 kilometres (12 mi) diameter.

Another way to understand the density is this: one teaspoon of matter from the neutron star would weigh 6 billion tons.

How hot is a neutron star compared to the sun

Neutron stars spin very fast, from 0.001 second up to 30 seconds to turn. They come in different types. T
