Spica and Rigel have similar surface temperatures but their absolute magnitudes are different why is this?
HHartnett081283
- Spica has a surface temperature of 22,400K and an absolute magnitude of -3.55
- Rigel has a surface temperature of 11,000K and an absolute magnitude of -6.7
So the question is incorrect.

Which are the 2 coldest planets?
Uranus and Neptune have the coldest surface temperatures. Their average temperatures are very similar at about minus 200 to minus 220 degrees Celsius.

How is mercury and Pluto different?
There are two main similarities between Mercury and Pluto. One is their smaller sizes, although Pluto is far smaller than Mercury. The other is their extreme distance from the sun. So Mercury is the closest known planet to the sun while Pluto was considered the furthest.
Can two locations at same longitude but opposite latitudes have similar temperatures in the same seasons?
yes
What is the same value but different numbers?
Similar fractions. or decimals ending in repeating 9s - for example, 0.5 = 0.4999... or fractions and percentages eg 1/5 = 20% The answer cannot be numbers equal in absolute value but with opposite signs because although they have the same absolute value they do not have the same value - as required by the question.
Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?
Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.
Do different temperatures of water boil at different times?
If similar amounts of water are at differenttemperatures and are in similar containers if a similar amount of heat is applied to each simultaneously then yes
How does the brightness of a quasar compare with that of a large galaxy?
I assume when you mean brightness, you mean apparent magnitude as opposed to absolute magnitude. The quasar 3C 273 has an apparent magnitude of about 12.8 whereas the brightest galaxy - the Large Magellanic Cloud has an apparent magnitude of 0.9. However, in absolute magnitudes, 3C 273 has an absolute magnitude of about -26.7 very similar to our own Sun.
Which one tells us how bright the stars would appear if all stars were at the same distance ferom the earth?
There are two terms used to describe a stars brightness, absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude. The one you want is absolute magnitude - this is where the stars distance from us is taken out of the equation, effectively comparing the stars brightness side by side from a set distance (10 parsecs or 32.6 light years). Apparent magnitude is the other measure, this is how bright a star apparently looks from Earth. The huge distances and range of distances involved means that you can have very bright stars (high absolute magnitude) that apparently look as bright as a much closer but dimmer (low absolute magnitude) star - their apparent magnitudes might be similar, but they may have vastly different absolute magnitudes.
What is the Properties of automatic transmission fluid?
Similar properties to engine oils but different friction characteristics. They have to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
Would earthquakes of similar magnitudes in different regions of the Earth cause approximately the same levels of damage necessarily?
An earthquake in an unpopulated area would cause little damage- in a major city, a great deal of damage.
What are similar patterns of temperatures and precipitation?
Climate Zone
