The distance from the earth to a star that has identical apparent and absolute magnitudes is?
The standard distance used for evaluating absolute magnitude is 10 parsec.The standard distance used for evaluating absolute magnitude is 10 parsec.The standard distance used for evaluating absolute magnitude is 10 parsec.The standard distance used for evaluating absolute magnitude is 10 parsec.
What factor affects the absolute brightness of a star?
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
How will a star bright if it was near the sun?
A star near the Sun might be brighter or dimmer, it depends on how big it is. Each star has an absolute magnitude and if you find out a star's absolute magnitude, and then subtract 31.4, that would be its visual magnitude at the Sun's distance from us.
What is the absolute magnitude of this star m equals 6?
Magnitude = m - 5 (log10D) - 1) Where D is the star's luminosity distance in parsecs ----------------------------------------------------------------- In order to calculate a star's absolute magnitude, we need two pieces of information: -- its apparent magnitude, i.e., how bright it appears from Earth, and -- its distance from us.
What variable of apparent brightness is eliminated when discussing absolute brightness?
Distance. "Absolute magnitudes" are all calculated as if viewed from the same distance, while "apparent magnitude" is how bright the star appears to be as seen from Earth.
What color of a star indicate about it?
The color of the star Indicates its Temperature.
What color indicates that a star is hot?
the color of the star will be orange red and yellowish orangish
What is a star's absolute brightness?
That means how bright the star really is. The "absolute magnitude" is defined as how bright the star would look if it were at a standard distance from us.
How bright a star actually is at a distance of 32.6 light years away from earth is?
That's the number called the star's "Absolute Magnitude".That is called the star's "absolute magnitude".
What is the absolute location of the star symbol on the map?
A star symbol found on a map, generally indicates the absolute location of a capital city. To find the absolute location of a place on a map, longitude and latitude are used.
What distance is the absolute magnitude and the apparent magnitude of a star would be equal if the star is seen at?
The standard distance is 10 parsecs. At this distance the star's apparent magnitude equals its absolute magnitude. A star 100 parsecs away has an absolute magnitude 5 magnitudes brighter than its apparent magnitude. 1 parsec is 3.26 light-years.
What is a stars brightness as if it were a standard distance?
Theres `Absolute Magnitude` which is the brightness of a star at a set distance. Then there is `Apparent Magnitude` which is the apparent brightness from earth, regardless of distance.
What is the brightness of a star without regard to it's distance?
Absolute
A star's brightness as if it were a standard distance is called?
Absolute Brightness .
How bright a star actually is a distance of 32.6 light years from earth is called?
That's called the star's absolute magnitude.
A star might be much brighter than it appears to be This is called the star's absolute magnitude The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's?
Distance
A star might be much brighter than it appears to be. This is called the star's absolute magnitude. The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's -?
Distance
