How dense is a nutron star?

Question

How dense is a nutron star?

Answer 1

their density is comparable to the density of potatoes. They are less tasty though

Answer 2

I assume you mean neutron stars. Neutron stars are so dense, they are even more dense than you are. Doesn't anyone know how to use a speling checker anymore? Neutron stars have overall densities of 8.4 × 10^16 to 1 × 10^18 kg/m³.

Answer 3

the denses thingin the universe besides black holes .

Answer 4

Via Wikipedia:

A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, with a corresponding radius between 20 and 10 km,[1] respectively—in contrast, the Sun is 30,000 to 70,000 times larger. Thus, neutron stars have overall densities of 8.4 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 kg/m³,[2] which compares with the approximate density of an atomic nucleus of 3 × 1017 kg/m³.[3] The neutron star's density varies from below 1 × 109 kg/m³ in the crust increasing with depth to above 6 or 8 × 1017 kg/m³ deeper inside.[4]

In general, compact stars of less than 1.38 solar masses, the Chandrasekhar limit, are white dwarfs; above 2 to 3 solar masses (the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit), a quark star might be created, however this is uncertain. Gravitational collapse will always occur on any star over 5 solar masses, inevitably producing a black hole.

That's pretty dense.

Answer 5

It is called a neutron star because the force of gravity has compressed the atoms so there is little space left between elementary particles in the atom. It would have a density on the scale of hundreds of thousands to millions of tons in pea size samples.
