Final answer:

A typical neutron star has more mass than the Sun and is about the same size as a city.

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical neutron star has more mass than the Sun and is about the same size as a city.

Neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, with a mass about 1057 times the mass of a proton. They have a diameter more like the size of a small town or an asteroid than a star. The force of gravity at the surface of a neutron star is 1011 times greater than what we experience at Earth's surface.
