Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. The density of a neutron star is roughly 10¹4 times as great as that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent the star as a uniform solid, rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The star's initial radius was 7.0x105 km (comparable to our sun); its final radius is 18 km.

Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.
