Describe relationship between the brightness and the distance of star from earth?

Due to the inverse square law, stars that are far away from Earth are generally dimmer than stars that are close to Earth. However, there are many exceptions, since stars can also appear brighter or dimmer depending on their luminosity.

∙ 14y agoIf the same star (or a star of the same absolute (real) brightness) is farther away, it will look less bright to us. Specifically there is an inverse-square law; for example, at ten times the distance, it would appear 100 times dimmer - assuming we can ignore other effects, such as light extinction through interstellar gas or dust.

Stars twice as far away are one quarter as bright. (3 times as far, one 9th as bright, etc).

The diffence in brightness between two stars is related to the?
Their distance away from you and their intrinsic luminosity.
What is the relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and the planet's period of revolution?
The relationship between the planet's SPEED and its distance from the Sun is given by Kepler's Third Law.From there, it is fairly easy to derive a relationship between the period of revolution, and the distance.
How is the number of light years figured between two celestial objects?
To find the number of light years between two celestial objects, we first find the distance from each object to earth. If we connect the dots between Earth and the two objects, we have a triangle. We to sides lengths of that triangle (the distances between Earth and the objects), and we can measure one angle (the angle at the vertex where Earth is. This is enough information to find the distance between the objects using trigonometry (in this case, the law of cosines). Finding the distance from Earth to an object can be a bit complex. One commonly used method is to look for a pulsating star. We can figure out the absolute brightness (how bright it is without factoring in distance away) of these stars by how often they pulse. Then we can measure the apparent brightness (how bright it looks to us). We can then use both these values to find the distance to the star. (This also works for some supernovae.) Another method is to use objects that are considered to be 'standard candles'. These objects do not pulse, but we know the relationship between their absolute brightness, apparent brightness, and distance away.
If the distance between us and a star is doubled the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four true or false?
True!

How do we measure the distance between stellars?
With maths and light brightness.... Distance between two points...
Describe the relationship between the variable of time distance and speed?
Time = (distance) divided by (speed) Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time) Speed = (distance) divided by (time)
What is difference between apparent brightness and absolute brightness?
Absolute Brightness: How bright a star appears at a certain distance. Apparent Brightness: The brightness of a star as seen from Earth.

What is the relationship between brightness and temperature shown within the main sequence?
As temperature increases the absolute brightness increases
IN main sequence stars what is the relationship between brightness and temperature?
Brightness tells you the temperature and mostly temperature would tell the brightness of the star that we are talking about.
Who discovered the relationship between a star brightness and temperature?
