A black hole is an object with such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape it. A neutron star is a dense star made up of neutrons that is created when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. While both black holes and neutron stars are incredibly dense and have strong gravitational fields, a black hole is a singularity with no physical size, while a neutron star has a finite size and can be observed through telescopes.\n
What is the difference between a black hole and a neutron star?
