Neutron Stars 🔒

This quiz covers neutron stars across 9 questions, looking at their mass, size, charge, and how they were discovered.

You will answer prompts like What is the mass of a typical neutron star? and What is the shape of a neutron star?, so it suits students who already know a little about how stars live and die.

The fact that tends to stick with people is the size, because a typical neutron star packs more mass than the Sun into a ball only about the width of a small city.

You will also meet the special name for a neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field.

Recommended level: intermediate.
