What else can I help you with?
Is magnitude and and apprent magnitude the same thing?
apparent magnitude is how bright a stars seems from earth. magnitude (i think called actual magnitude [I cant remember]) is how bright a star ACTUALLY is.Have a nice day.
Is a star's absolute magnitude dependent on its distance from the observer?
No, a star's absolute magnitude is a measure of its intrinsic brightness regardless of its distance from the observer. It is a standardized measure that allows for comparison of the brightness of stars at a set distance.
How does the light from a flashlight that is shone from two differences model the apparent magnitude of two stars with the same absolute magnitude?
yall dont know that yall losers
Explain a stars apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from a predetermined distance, depending on the object.For planets, the distance used is 1 AU (Astronomical Units). Stars and galaxies use 10 parsecs which is about 32.616 light years.The dimmer an object is the higher the positive value. The brighter an object is the higher the negative value.Examples:The Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.74 but an absolute magnitude of 4.83Sirius has an apparent magnitude of -1.46 but an absolute magnitude of -1.42This means that from Earth, the Sun is a lot brighter, but if the Sun was replaced by Sirius, Sirius would be 25 times more luminous.See related links for more information
What 2 factors determine a star's apparent magnitude?
There are three factors, actually. The star's size and temperature determine the absolute magnitude, or how bright the star really is. Those two factors can be considered as one - the star's absolute magnitude. The absolute magnitude combined with our distance from the star determines its apparent magnitude, or how bright the star appears to be from Earth. So, a big, hot, super bright star very far away may have the same apparent magnitude as a small, cool star that's fairly close to the Earth.
Is magnitude and and apprent magnitude the same thing?
apparent magnitude is how bright a stars seems from earth. magnitude (i think called actual magnitude [I cant remember]) is how bright a star ACTUALLY is.Have a nice day.
Which means the same as luminosity?
Absolute magnitude.
What is the magnitude of a star if all stars were the same distance from earth?
Absolute magnitude
How is it possible for two stairs to have the same aparent magnitude but different absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness as viewed from EarthAbsolute magnitude is the brightness as viewed from the same distance - 32 light years.Therefore a star that is twice as bright but further away could have the same apparent magnitude but a different absolute magnitude.
What is absolute magnitude of most yellow stars?
Most "yellow" stars fall into the classification of type G - the same as our Sun.They have an absolute magnitude of around 5.
Is it possible for two regular stars to have the same absolute magnitude but differ in apparent magnitude?
One dimmer star can be closer than a brighter star that is far away. Light flux decreases as the square of the distance. A star that is three times as far away will have to shine nine times brighter than the closer star (absolute magnitude) to appear to have the same magnitude (apparent magnitude). Because apparent magnitude is the brightness of a star, as seen from Earth, whereas absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star as seen from the same distance - about 32.6 light years away.
What numbers have equal absolute values?
A positive and negative number with the same magnitude (value) will have their absolute values equal.
Which number is a magnitude number 33 or negative 52?
The magnitude of a number is always positive - it's the same as the absolute value.-52 can't be a magnitude, 33 can.
How are absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude alike?
Absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude are the same because they are both ways on how to measure the brightness of a star. Absolute magnitude is how bright is the star if we will see it in a 32.616 light-years distance while apparent magnitude is the brightness of it that we see on Earth.
What determines absolute magnitude?
How bright the object would be if it was the same distance from Earth as the sun is
