How could a smaller star have a greater magitude than a larger star?

A smaller star can appear brighter from Earth (apparent magnitude) if it is much closer.
The absolute magnitude (brightness compared side by side at fixed distance) can also be higher in a smaller star if it is much hotter and more massive. A smaller star can be much heavier (more dense) and hotter than a large star, especially the huge red giants nearing the end of their life (which have a very low density).

How you could use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater?
On a number line, the numbers start with zero and get larger as they move to the right, They are negative and get smaller as they move to the left from the zero. To find which number is greater, you can find the places of two numbers on the line and the one on the right is greater.
Is the product of a fraction less than 1 and whole number greater than or less than the whole number?
It depends on the whole number. The two numbers could be positive or negative which means that the product could be larger or smaller.

An idea could be both small and or larger than an actual object.
Is the impulse produced by a larger force always greater than the impulse created by a smaller force?
I believe the answer is no. The impulse produced is also time related. Impulse force is measured as dp/dt. Therefore a smaller force produced for a very quick time could produce a larger impulse than a large force over a longer time.
How do you take a larger number from a smaller number?
add a tenth of the larger number to the smaller number so the smaller number is actually the larger number or you could refare to 6 over 4 in pi over 56 = x square 2 pi But no-one understands that
Is the sun getting larger of smaller?
The sun stays the same size. You could say larger because the flames always bush out and maybe you could say bigger.
Are smaller fractions larger?
the numbers are larger, but could mean less or more: 1/20000000 is small and 20000000/1 is large
