Best Answer

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a star in which atoms have been crushed, and electrons have fused with protons to form neutrons. The collapse stops at this point. A neutron star is extremely dense but has a finite density and emits radiation.

A black hole is an object that has collapsed completely to an infinitely dense point. It cannot really be considered matter at this point. Around this singularity is a region of extremely strong gravity and highly distorted spacetime from which nothing, not even light can escape.

Is a neutron star or a black hole bigger?

A black hole has more mass than a neutron star, but if you are comparing volume it would depend on the mass of the black hole. A neutron star is estimated to be about 14 miles in diameter, which is larger than the event horizon of a black hole up to about 3.8 times the mass of the sun. A more massive black hole will be larger.
