Determine what would be the radius of the star

Reference no: EM13552254

Certain stars are thought to collapse at the end of their lives, combining their protons and electrons to form a neutron star. Such a star could be thought of as a giant atomic nucleus. If a star with a mass equal to that of the sun (of mass 1.99 × 10^30 kg) were to collapse into neutrons, what would be the radius of the star?
