when a supernova occurs and the star is destroyed but if some how the nucleus survives and its mass is 1.4 solar masses then the nucleus started to shrink under its own gravity then the next stable state is neutron star.

Describe how gravity causes stars to form galaxies?

It depends on how much gravity that causes stars to form. It depends on how big the star in the galaxies is.


How does gravity affect the formation of stars?

Gravity doesn't just "affect" the formation of stars; it's just about the only force that CAUSES the stars to form in the first place.


What do black holes and neutrons stars have in common?

Both are the collapsed remnants of massive stars.


What are neutron stare?

Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of massive stars that have gone through a supernova explosion. They are incredibly dense, with a mass greater than that of the Sun packed into a sphere about 10 kilometers in diameter. Neutron stars are composed mostly of neutrons and exhibit strong gravitational and magnetic fields.


A what is formed by a star that collapses under gravity to the point that its electrons and protrons form neutrons?

A neutron star is formed when a star collapses under gravity to the point where its electrons and protons combine to form neutrons. Neutron stars are extremely dense and have strong gravitational forces.


Do neutrons and electrons form a chemical bond?

Electrons do but neutrons do not


How come all stars do not form into a black hole?

Not enough mass to collapse enough.light weight stars collapse only to a white hot ball of ordinary nickel-iron alloy, called a white dwarfmedium weight stars can collapse the atoms, forcing the orbiting electrons into the nucleus and converting protons to neutrons, this star is a ball of nearly nothing but neutrons called a neutron starheavy weight stars can collapse subatomic particles, only these stars can become a black hole


Can neutrons cause static electricity?

No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.


Why are neutron stars called "neutron stars"?

Neutron stars are called "neutron stars" because they are composed mostly of neutrons, which are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms. These stars form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity during a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core of neutrons.


What else are stars made of other than hydrogen?

Stars are also made out of helium, calcium, and potassium. Neutrons stars and plasma stars are also common.


What do the protons and neutrons form?

Atomic nucleus is formed from protons and neutrons.


What subatomic particle does neutron star has?

These stars are formed preponderant by neutrons.
