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).

What is difference in a star's apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude caused by?
How far away the star is.
How bright a star appears as seen earth is called?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.
Is it true or false a third-magnitude star is ten times as bright as a fourth -magnitude star?
True.

What is a star brightness called?
the brightness of a star is called it's magnitude

What is star's magnitude?
The magnitude is the brightness of the star.
What is the small dense remains of a high -mass star?
white dwarf
What is small dense remains of a high mass star?

What star is called its magnitude?
The magnitude of a star means how bright it is.
A first magnitude star is times brighter than a 5th magnitude star?
For apparent magnitudes, a magnitude of zero has the same magnitude as Vega. A first magnitude star is 40 percent as bright and a fifth magnitude star is one percent. So, a first magnitude star is 40 times as bright as a fifth.
What is the magnitude of a star as it appears in the sky called?
The Polar star is the star that is magnitude. This is a Luminosity star.
What is the distance between an eighth magnitude star and a 9th magnitude star?
The 8th magnitude star is about 2.5 times brighter.
