They have a mass of between 1 and 3 times the mass of the sun. Clear skies to
you.

To answer my question I just looked it up on the net and it said "A single
thimbleful of neutron-star material would weigh 100 million tons or more, as
much as a good-sized mountain on Earth"

If anyone's interested here's the link.
