Which is about the size of a city giant black hole white dwarf neutrons star?
Neutrons star is the same size of a city. This is 10 km radius.
Will the core of a high mass star turn into a nutron star?
Yes, the core of a high mass star will collapse under immense gravitational pressure during a supernova explosion, forming a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and composed primarily of neutrons, hence the name.
What is the order of radius for 1 solar mass white dwarf 1 solar mass star 1.5 solar mass neutron star and 1 solar mass black hole from smallest to largest?
1 solar mass black hole (smallest) 1 solar mass white dwarf 1 solar mass star 1.5 solar mass neutron star (largest)
When a high-mass star turns into a super-giant and then explodes the explosion is called?
A Nova or a Supernova.
Which stage follows the red giant stage of star development if the star is a high-mass star?
White dwarf stage. Its shrinks to a lot extent in this stage. Edit: A high mass star is usually one that becomes a supergiant then a supernova. Eventually this should leave either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the star. The previous answer is for low mass stars.
How can you work out the density of a planet or star?
To calculate the density of a planet or star, you can use the formula: density = mass / volume. The mass can be determined through gravitational effects, while the volume is derived from the size of the planet or star. By dividing the mass by the volume, you can find the density of the celestial body.
What is the radius of a red giant star?
A red giant can have a radius of 50 million to 500 million kilometres.
Which is denser a dwarf star or a giant star?
A dwarf star is denser than a giant star. Dwarf stars have a higher density due to their smaller size and higher mass compared to giant stars. Giant stars have larger volumes and lower densities as they have expanded and become less dense towards the end of their life cycle.
What is the mass of piece of neutron star with a radius of 0.10mm?
Assuming it is spherical, such a fragment would have a volume of 4.19x10^-6 cm^3. A neutron star has a density on the order of 5x10^14 g/cm^3. At this density, the fragment would have a mass of roughly 2000 metric tons.
What causes a star to become a super giant versus a giant?
That would mainly depend on the star's mass.
What is the difference between a red giant and a neutron star?
A red giant is a star in the final stages of its life time that has expanded to hundreds of times its original diameter. Because the star has expanded without gaining mass, a reg giant has an extremely low average density. A neutron star is the collapsed core of a dead massive star. It contains a mass a few times that of the sun in an area only a few miles across, making it extremely dense; only the singularity of a black hole is denser.
What is the total mass of a red giant?
A red giant is a star, at a particular phase of its development. It can be a star that has approximately the mass of our Sun (the Sun is expected to become a red giant eventually), or several times that mass.
What determines if a star will become a rea giant or a super giant?
A star's entire fate is tied into its initial mass. Nothing else matters.
Is white drawf bigger than a nertron star?
Simply, neutron star is a big nuclear - of 10km radius and solar mass (mass density about  1017- 1018 kg/m3). The material in a white dwarf is supported by electron degeneracy pressure. The physics of degeneracy yields a maximum mass for a non-rotating white dwarf, the Chandrasekhar limit-approximately 1.4 solar masses-beyond which it cannot be supported by electron degeneracy pressure. The density of white dwarf is - 109 kg/m3. So its radius is much bigger 10km, but the mass can be less, as well as bigger of solar mass.
What is the star called that is after the Red Giant?
white dwarf if it has low mass Neutron star or Blackhole if it is massive enough to cause a red super giant
What is the next step after a red giant?
After a red giant phase, a star will undergo further evolutionary stages depending on its mass. A low-mass star like the Sun will evolve into a planetary nebula and then eventually into a white dwarf. A high-mass star will undergo a supernova explosion, leading to the formation of a neutron star or black hole.
What is the largest star ever discovered in space?
The star R136a1 by mass and luminosity. The star VY Canis Majoris by radius and volume.
