How do size temperature and distance affect a star's magnitude or luminousity?

A star's real luminosity is proportional to the the square of its diameter, and more or less proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature.
The star's apparent luminosity is proportional to its real luminosity. It is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

What are 5 factors that affect the intesity of an earthquake?
type of faulting depth frequency of shakin proximity of epicentre distance of earthquake focus magnitude
What three things affect the apparent magnitude of a star?
1: The size of the planet.2: The planet's distance from the Sun.3: The "albedo" of the planet (the percentage of the Sun's light it reflects).If you mean how bright the planet appears to us on Earth, then the distance from Earth is obviously very important.
What two factors affect how bright a star appears in the night sky?
Two factors that affect a star's apparent brightness are: 1.) The distance between the Earth and the star 2.) The absolute magnitude (the actual brightness) of the star Hope that helps :P
How does the distance of a planet affect in surface temperature?
If that planet is far from the sun it is really cold because the sun heats the ground and the heat comes up
A planet size distance from its sun and composition of its atmosphere have great affect on its?
its can be effected or affected by many things whoever wrote this is f***ing stupid. hey that's not nice and people the answer to this question is temperature
How does a star's temperature affect its absolute magnitude?
The absolute magnitude of a start will increase both:* If its surface temperature increases, and * If its diameter increases.
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
What are two things that affect the magnitude of gravitational force?
The mass of the objects and the distance between them.
Does the temperature of the golf ball affect the distance it travels?
yeah totally
How does temperature affect paint?
it affects it because the hotter the temperature is the aster paint will dry.

How does the distance of a planet from the sun affect the temperature?
the further away you are from the sun the colder the place is.

Does the temperature of a ball affect the distance traveled?
well...according to my scientific calculations the colder the ball is the harder it will be, this makes it difficult to travel far. Although, the outside temperature of the ball does not affect the inside temperature. This means looks can be decieving.
What affect the magnitude of force?
Gravitational Force = Gravitational Constant x mass of the first object x mass of the second object / distance squared. So what affects the magnitude is the masses of the objects and the distance between them. Gravitational Constant = 6.672 x 10^-11 N x m^2/kg^2 Both masses, and the distance between them.

The main factors that affect an areas temperature are pervailing winds and mountains?
Monsoon winds affect the climate of a region. Identify factors that influence temperature and precipitation. Latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies or water, climate, microclimate and ocean currents affect temperature and prevailing winds, mountains, and seasonal winds affect precipitation.
