Neutron star- A neutron star is formed when a burnt out star with the mass between 1.4 to 2.5 times our sun. It is smaller then a white dwraf (but heavier) and has a strong gravitational field (but not strong enough to suck light in).
White dwraf- A white dwraf is formed when a star doesn’t have enough mass to become a “neutron star” or a black hole. It is just a strunken star that ran out of fuel (i.e. not shining) and has a slightly stronger gravity.
