Is a neutron star also a black hole?

Physics

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

Which statements describe Earth? Select three options. It is an outer planet. It is a terrestrial planet. It was formed from gas
AVprozaik [17]

The formation of Earth is supported by the statements like, it is a terrestrial planet. it was formed from gas and dust. it was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.

The given problem is based on the correct statements entitling the description of Earth. Earth is amongst 8 planets in our solar system, that happen to orbit around the sun.

The statements given to describe the Earth are as follows:

  • Earth is not an Outer planet. It is an inner planet that lies closest to the sun after Mercury and Venus.
  • Earth is a terrestrial planet because it is having a compact and rocky surface. Also, it is known to be an as largest terrestrial planet in the solar system with extensive regions of liquids and water.
  • The abundant rocky surfaces have evolved from the cloud of dust and gas, during the post-Big Bang Era. So, it is somewhere true to say that Earth is formed from gas and dust.
  • The earlier atmosphere of Earth was known for having proportional layers of Hydrogen and Helium. Hence is quite true to say that the Earth is having an atmosphere of Hydrogen and helium gases, but it is not as thick as the like sun.
  • Majority of terrestrial planets are formed from the collision of planetesimals in a debris disk. With Earth being one of them, it is quite correct to consider the given statement.

Thus, we can conclude that the formation of Earth is supported by the statements like: it is a terrestrial planet, it was formed from gas and dust and it was formed in a debris disk from colliding planetesimals.
