Difference between Black hole and Neutron star

Black hole vs. Neutron star

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. A neutron star is the collapsed core of a large star which before collapse had a total of between 10 and 29 solar masses.
