If the sun became a neutron star its gravity would not suck in the planets as you claim. It's only close to the neutron star where its gravity is very strong. The orbits of the planets would not change. I've seen other videos in which astronomers say even if the sun became a black hole (of the same mass as the sun) the planet's orbits would remain unchanged (although the solar system would get a lot colder and darker. Far from objects such as neutron stars and black holes (with the sun's mass) the gravitational effect would be the same as the sun. And it is only some neutron stars that rotate 700 times a second, not all of them. Furthermore their rotational speed has nothing to do with their velocity through space; those are two entirely different things.

Pizza store new one is pizza store pizza store ocean is a good stars the size of us to order fast and I don't have a midnight field maybe it was zone for many planets to Mercury to Venus or even the moon together they're also put her too th I mean earth so also if the sun was worthy stars call pizza stars then we'll be beautiful the pizza store Elizabeth dangerous it's also have tornadoes on a spot and also you have a massive a laser this laser is not danger diseases on the poison red but don't touch it it's going to swap is the vampires anything just turn it into millions of ants

Also when we say the Sun will _never_ become a neutron star, eh, never say never
The Sun will become a white dwarf, yes, but if enough matter falls down onto the white dwarf, if the mass reaches 1. 4 solar masses, it can collapse into a neutron star, so it's a possibility that after a gazillion years, after the Sun has became a white dwarf, it could drift near another star and feed on it, eventually turning into a neutron star

This should be titled -if the Sun was replaced with a neutron star, - and then pick a random neutron star to slap in the centre. Were you to turn the Sun into one, the assumption is that it would retain its mass and therefore exert the same gravity; all solar system objects would maintain their present movement. So no, nothing would be magically sucked in, that's not how motion and gravity work.

2: 06 Actually no, gravity is determined by an objects mass and distance from the center, and the minimum mass of a neutron star is 1. 4 times that of our sun, so if we replaced our sun with one, our orbits would shift closer a bit, but we would not get immediately sucked in, similar to how orbiting a 10 solar mass black hole is just like orbiting a 10 solar mass star, just not so hot and bright

Just please stop making videos about things you don't understand, the only correct thing you say is when you quote Wikipedia. If The Sun become a neutron star it would have the same masse as before, so the planet wouldn't be sucked into it. It's rotation as nothing to do with his velocity, and gor that matter, all the solar system being gravitationaly bound to it, it would change nothing.

What if the Milky Way was round?
What if Mercury was bigger than the sun?
What if the black hole at the center of our galaxy exploded?
What if two stars collided?
What if Earth orbited a Quasi-star?
What if Jupiter had 1, 000 moons?
What if Saturn had J1407b-s rings?
What if Earth was the size of Mercury?
What if Earth had nuclear fusion in it-s core?

You can't just state that the planets will move towards the neutron star. The gravitational pull between two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them only. So if the sun is replaced by one of its own mass, then the orbits of the planets won't change. Get your facts straight.

1 anyone dead
2 supernova
3 sun goes boom
4 moon and Jupiter moons definitely be dead
5 after 5-10 days neutron stars are black
6 bluey no
7 all stars dies out
8 good jobs
9 mornings are 99h
10 new Big Bang

Big mistakes. If the sun instantly became a neutron star, there would be no change to the orbits of the planets. It's only on the surface that the gravity is so crazy.
And rotational velocity doesn't mean hurtling through space.

I do not know if You are aware, Neutron Stars form when the star has 3 - 8 masses of the sun. All other more massive stars become black holes and stars that are less dense become white dwarfs.

I am still thinking about this what if human could somehow absorb the neutron stars energy or black holles energy or magnetar's energy i know it sounds dumb but i can't get it out of my head -

neutron stars come from stars with a solar mass of over 1. 4 and under 3 solar masses, not 20 solar masses
