Which of the following is the heaviest star?(provided all them are of the same size)
-
Proton Star
-
Neutron Star
-
Supergiant Star
-
Redgiant Star
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Neutron stars are the densest and heaviest stellar objects (when comparing objects of similar size). They form from the collapsed core of massive stars and pack roughly 1.4-3 solar masses into a sphere only about 20 km in diameter. A neutron star of the same size as other star types would be exponentially heavier due to its extreme density.
