What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?

If a neutron star with mass of our moon were to strike the earth, will if go straight through the earth?



And would it damage the earth, or will it just leave a hole straight though the earth?What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?A typical neutron star has a mass between 1.35 and about 2.1 solar masses, so indeed it can't have a Moon mass. So I will take an example with a really neutron star.



Before a neutron star collide with our planet, the life will be exterminated, for at least two reasons: one - any collision is not rapid and the two bodies will spin around closer and closer, and two - while this spinning, the neutron star will kill us with the radiation. Neutron stars have a temperature at least 1 million Kelvin degrees, and radiate most in X-rays, not visible light. Moreover, before it hits Earth, its gravitation and gravitational waves strongly affect us by tidal effects. If it hits us, the Earth will be destroyed completely, compressed in a tiny layer at the surface of the star and all the elements that compose it and us will be transform in neutrons as well.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?
First of all a neutron star can't be a light as the moon. Secondly it doesn't really matter what size it is if its the mass of the moon it would be like the moon hitting us. If the earth was struck by something the mass of the moon the earth would probably just become a molten ball of rock that would cool eventually and be earth+moon size.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?A neutron star with the mass of our Moon would literally be about the size of a basketball, which is impossible.



One teaspoon (5 milliliters) of a neutron stars material would have a mass over 5.5E+12 kg.



A neutron star colliding with Earth would completely smash Earth into pieces.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?
1. "a neutron star with mass of our moon" is impossible.

The minimum mass for a neutron star is orders of magnitude, (more than a million times), greater.

2. The earth would be crushed into a thin film on the surfae of the neutron star,

followed by a burst of fusion as its atoms were destryed.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?It would destroy life on Earth, well before any collision. The gravitational field at the star's surface is about 2 脳 10^11 times stronger than on Earth. The escape velocity is about 100,000 km/s, which is about one third the speed of light. That could pull the atmosphere clean off the Earth and probably some of the crust as well, I think.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?
Neutron stars cannot be that small. But if they could be, that would still completely destroy the Earth, smashing it to bits and turning it into nothing but a swarm of asteroids, meteoroids and dust.What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?
no, the earth would be crushed and become part of the neutron star
