How Dangerous Is A   Neutron Star

A neutron star is formed by the collapsing of the core of a giant star and the mass of the core before collapsing is abot 10 to 29 solar masses. Neutron stars a without a doubt one of the most dangerous things out in space. They are one the the smallest and densest stars out there. These stars have a radius of 10 kilometers(6.2 miles) and have a mass of 1.4 solar masses. 

 

Neutron stars are mostly composed of neutrons(subatomic particles having no charge on them and slightly larger mass than that of a proton). Approximately 95% of a neutron star is made up of neutron. 

 

Neutron stars are very hot and usually there surface temperaature is about 600,000K. These stars are so dense that a normal-sized matchbox containing neutron-star material has a weight of about 3billion tonnes.

 

The magnetic and gravitational fields of a neutron stars are, (100 million to 1 quadrillion) and 2×10ˆ11(200 billion) times stronger than that of Earth's respectively. Scientists have come to the conclusion that there are approximately 100 million neutron stars in the Milky Way alone.

 

Along side that neutron stars that weight more than 3 solar masses will collaps into a quark star and then finally into a black hole.   

Neutron stars are very dangerous as a study shows that inorder to be safe from a neutron star we should be about 500 light-years away from one. As a neutron stars gravitational and magnetic fields ae so strong that it can disrupt the orbits of the planets of that particular solar sytem in which the star is. Some neutron stars have come close as 400 light-years to Earth but we were extremely lucky that nothing happend that time.

 

These stars are smaller than our sun buts have a gravity and density greater than that of it. So we can assume if  a neutron star comes close to us the outcome will not be good in any term. As these stars emitt far more radiation than our sun and can destroy Earth with its gravitational field only but ripping the entire planet a part.
