The average density of neutron stars approaches:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutron stars are incredibly dense, with an average density of about 10¹⁷ kg/m³, similar to the density of atomic nuclei. Option A is incorrect because although neutron stars are denser than normal matter, their density is not a million times greater. Option B is incorrect because while neutron stars are denser than white dwarfs, their density is not a million times greater. Option D is incorrect because neutron stars are not 10¹⁸ times denser than water but only about 10⁹ times denser. Option E is incorrect because although neutron stars approach infinite density, they are not actually infinitely dense.
