The sun is a main sequence star, so 1 AU.
You can find the luminosity of a main sequence star by measuring its apparent brightness and distance from Earth. Knowing the distance allows you to calculate the star's absolute brightness. Luminosity is then determined by comparing the absolute brightness of the star to that of the Sun, which has a known luminosity.
main sequence
can be estimated by comparing their apparent magnitudes. Since brightness decreases with the square of the distance from an observer, a star cluster with main sequence stars one hundredth as bright as the Hyades Cluster would be approximately ten times further away from Earth than the Hyades Cluster.
No, there is no dwarf star heading for Earth. The closest star to Earth is the Sun, which is a main-sequence star. Dwarf stars are common in the universe and many are much farther away from Earth.
Earth's Sun is:a G2V type star,a yellow dwarf anda main sequence star
Earth's star is what we call the Sun, and it is a main-sequence star with a G2 spectrum and an absolute magnitude of +4.7.
No. Red giants are not on the main sequence.
No, Vega is not a dwarf star. It is a main sequence star, specifically a type A main sequence star. Vega is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is located relatively close to Earth in the constellation of Lyra.
A red main sequence star would be a red dwarf or a branch red giant. To be on the main sequence, you have to have hydrogen nuclear fusion.
Merak is a blue-white main sequence star, also known as a type A1V star. It is part of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) constellation and is approximately 79 light-years away from Earth.
Main-Sequence star
None of those is a main sequence star.
