Do neutron star, pulsars, magnetars etc. have solar flares like the sun or do they have sun spots like the sun or do they have solar winds and if they do have any of those types of weather, what are they called?
No, neutron stars do not have weather as we know it on Earth. Neutron stars are extremely dense and have very high gravity, which prevents the formation of any kind of atmosphere. Therefore, there is no wind, rain, or other weather phenomena on neutron stars.
No, pulsars also do not have weather. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation, and they also have high gravity that prevents the formation of weather. However, pulsar winds can produce some interesting effects, such as creating shock waves and accelerating particles.
Magnetars, which are a type of neutron star with extremely strong magnetic fields, also do not have weather. The intense magnetic fields on magnetars can cause powerful bursts of radiation and particles, but they do not produce traditional weather patterns.
No, there cannot be storms on neutron stars. As mentioned before, the extreme density and high gravity of neutron stars prevent the formation of an atmosphere, which is necessary for the formation of storms.
Technically, there is no weather in outer space. Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere, and since there is no atmosphere in most parts of outer space, there is no weather. However, some phenomena in space, such as solar winds and cosmic rays, can have effects that could be considered weather-like.
