How many times more dense is the material of a neutron star that earth's atmosphere? Does anyone know?

Bonus: How about a bagel?

Well, lets see, a teaspoon weighs about 1,000,000(that's MILLION)(I think) where as, Earth's atomsphere only has 14lb Sq foot. A tablespoon if water is 1cu. cm so lets use that.

1/30 of 14(lb) is 0.466 rounded to the 1000ths

So, to answer your question, a nutron star is 2 MILLION times more dence than the atmsphere of earth, aproxamatly.

bagle? with cream cheese? sure(NOT onion)

Newutron star have a density ranging between 8E13 to 2E15 time that of water, and air (at normal room temperature) is 0.001168 the density of water.
So, a neutron star should be 7E16 to 2E18 time more dense than air (that means from 700 quadrillion to 2 quintillon in the short scale)

A bagel floats but barely. It would thus have a specific density close to that of water. Let's say it is 0.9. So a Bagel will be about 9E13 to 2E15 less dense than a neutron star.

A neutron star is about 15 km in diameter, and its density is 2x10^17 kg / m^3. Air at sea level has a density of 1.48 kg / m^3. A bagel can float on water, so it must be less dense than 1000 kg / m^3.

Here's a list of densities comparing different objects (neutron stars are found toward the bottom):

The density of a neutron star varies anywhere between 8x10^13 to 2x10^15 grams per cubic metre (^ means to the power). The desity of air is approximately 1.2 kilograms per cubic metre. I hope you can figure this out yourself now.

Hi. Compared to neutronium any normal matter is closer to a vacuum. I will say trillions of times.

I'm not going to be of any help, just came to say "I want a bagel!"
