star- a. A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures.
b. Any of the celestial bodies visible at night from Earth as relatively stationary, usually twinkling points of light.
c. Something regarded as resembling such a celestial body.
2. A graphic design having five or more radiating points, often used as a symbol of rank or merit.
3.a. An artistic performer or athlete whose leading role or superior performance is acknowledged.
b. One who is highly celebrated in a field or profession.

False.
Altitude is defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon.?
false
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.
When a star travels from a position below the observers horizon to a position above the observers horizon the star is rising?
The star is considered rising. Also, it is setting when it is the opposite (moving from above the horizon to below.)

What is it called when the brightness of a star is measurable on a scale?
Star brightness is defined in terms of apparent magnitude, which is how bright the star appears from Earth. Star brightness is also defined by absolute magnitude, which is how bright a star appears at the standard distance of 36.2 light years. Luminosity is also a way that a star's light is measured.

Which form of measurement used to measure brightness can be defined as the rate at which the star gives off energy?
Luminosity is defined as the rate at which a star gives off energy. Luminosity can be measured in joules per second or watts.
How is a star defined in astrophysics?
A star is a roughly spherical plasma that emits electromagnetic radiation by nuclear fusion, usually that of hydrogen into helium.
When did the holocaust star and end?
neither the start nor the end have a clearly defined date
Is Altitude defined as the distance in degrees of a star below the horizon?
Almost . . ."Altitude" is the apparent angle of the object above the horizon.
Why is our sun a star but a star is not a sun?
The Sun is the name of a star. For example: when describing the human race, you can say "you are human", but you can't say "human is you". A star is a "sun" to its planets that are orbiting it. To everything else, it is "just" a star. So, a sun is defined as the star around which your own planet or dwarf planet is in direct orbit around. There are other suns out there, under this definition.
What is the theme in Star Wars?
