Why Are Neutron Stars Incredibly Dense?
Quick fact
A neutron star's density is about 10^17 kg/m³, meaning a sugar-cube-sized piece would weigh roughly 100 million tons.
Why this is interesting
Imagine squeezing the entire mass of the Sun into a sphere the size of a city—a teaspoon of that material would weigh more than all the cars on Earth. How is that possible?
