Is the size of the star the only factor that determines that star's absolute magnitude?
yes yes it does
What else can I help you with?
Explain why size is the only factor that determines the stars absolute magnitude?
The absolute magnitude is a measure of the star's luminosity hence the smaller the size the less the absolute magnitude.
Is the size of a star the only factor that determines the stars absolute magnitude?
yes yes it does
What is the absolute magnitude of the constellation scorpius?
Constellations don't have an absolute magnitude. That is a property of individual stars.
How does apparent magnitude of a star differ from absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness as observed from earth, while absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star at a set distance. The apparent magnitude considers the stars actual brightness as well as it's distance from us, but absolute magnitude takes the distance factor out so that star brightnesses can be directly compared.
Why is the absolute magnitude of some stars greatar than their apparent magnitude?
The question is: Why is the apparent magnitude of some stars less than their absolute magnitude. Or: Why do some stars not look as bright as they really are ? The answer is: Because they're so far away from us.
What is the magnitude of a star if all stars were the same distance from earth?
Absolute magnitude
What is absolute magnitude of most yellow stars?
Most "yellow" stars fall into the classification of type G - the same as our Sun.They have an absolute magnitude of around 5.
What is thuban the stars luminosity?
Its absolute magnitude is -1.20.Its magnitude from our point of view is +3.65.
What is true about the absolute magnitude and temperature of supergiant stars?
Absolute magnitude: they are extremely bright. Temperature: their surface temperature is fairly low.
What is the absolute magnitude of cassiopeia?
Cassiopeia is a constellation, not a single star, so it does not have a specific absolute magnitude. The stars within the constellation Cassiopeia have a range of absolute magnitudes depending on their distance and luminosity.
What is the actual amount of light a star gives off?
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
What is the approximate absolute magnitude of Rigel?
The approximate absolute magnitude of Rigel is about -7.0. This makes it one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
