Question

In the study of black holes, what do you call a star that is produced by a supernova?

• A. Plutonic star
• B. Neutron star
• C. Falling star
• D. Shooting star

Answer 1

The correct option is B Neutron star

• Neutron stars are city-size stellar objects with a mass about 1.4 times that of the sun.
• They are created when giant stars die in supernovas and their cores collapse, with the protons and electrons essentially melting into each other to form neutrons.
• The gravity on a neutron star is 2 billion times stronger than gravity on Earth.
