Neutron stars are about 20 km in diameter and have the mass of about 1.4 times that of our Sun. This means that a neutron star is so dense that on Earth, one teaspoonful would weigh a billion tons!
Neutron stars are one of the possible ends for a star. They result from massive stars which have mass greater than 4 to 8 times that of our sun. After these stars have finished burning their nuclear fuel, they undergo a supernova explosion. This explosion blows off the outer layers of a star into a beautiful supernova remnant. The central region of the star collapses under gravity. It collapses so much that protons and electrons combine to form neutrons. Hence the name "neutron star".

Based on the average density of a neutron star being roughly 10^14 g/cc, the mass would be about 2.8*10^15 kg.
Multiply that times 9.8m/s^2 andyou will get the weight at 2.8*10^16 N.
Notice the words "about", "average" and "roughly" indicate that the exact figures are still unknown beyond a certian degree of accuracy.

On the order of 10 trillion kilograms--obviously density can vary depending upon the particular neutron star and where in the star (surface or closer to the core) you are considering.

the respond relies upon on mass. frequently black hollow are very great. around 3 image voltaic mass a neutron action picture star can substitute right into a black hollow by using getting extra mass. for arguments sake a neutron action picture star of three image voltaic lots weighs the comparable as a black hollow of three image voltaic lots. the adaptation is how area-time is bent

Wow a great question. You are right up there at the forefront of Astrophysics.
And the answer is... I don't know. It all depends on the physics of neutron repulsion.
Herein lies the next great leap forward in Physics.
;-D These discoveries will be totally - awesome.

Right off the top of my head I would Say probably a whole lot and by the way do you know it is illegal to own. posses or buy a neutron star, but I know where you can get one pretty cheap, just keep it on the downside,O.K.

Take it to the post office and mail it to yourself, they'll weigh it and let you know. Make sure to get the insurance, just in case they lose it.
