What is similarities between apparent brightness and absolute brightness?
Both relate to brightness; both are measured in the same units; both are used for astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies.
Are stars different sizes and brightness?
Yes! Some stars are supergiants, which means that they are high-mass stars. They explode in a supernova towards the end of their life. These stars are generally brighter than others. A star's brightness also depends on its temperature. Red stars are the coolest temperature, followed by orange, yellow, white and blue stars.
What is the stars intrinsic brightness called?
Luminosity.
How does the hertzsprung Russell diagram classify stars?
increase in absolute brightness as they increase in temperature.Increase in brightness as they increase in temperature
What compares the brightness of stars as if they were the same distance from earth?
midorz
IN main sequence stars what is the relationship between brightness and temperature?
Brightness tells you the temperature and mostly temperature would tell the brightness of the star that we are talking about.
Do stars have the same brightness and sizes?
No. Stars vary greatly in size and brightness.
What indicates stars of brightness and temperature?
The color of stars determines temperature. Red/brown stars are cooler, blue stars are hotter, and yellow stars are in between. Brightness also has some correlation with color. Both are based on many varying factors however.
What persons discovered the relationship between a stars temperature and its brightness?

How size and brightness of stars are related?
They are related because the bigger the star the brighter u can see it otherwise the smaller the star the duller it is to see.
Does the stars mass have anything to do with the stars brightness?
the brightness of a star is dependant on its temperature and radius. however, while a star is burning hydrogen into helium (which all stars do for most of their lifespan and it's usually this kind of object we mean when we say "star") a correlation does exist between the mass of the star and its luminosity (brightness)
What color of the star is the brightest?
The hottest stars are blue or blue-white. Brightness is a different matter, and is not strictly related to color.
Do stars vary greatly in size and color only.?
No. Stars vary in lots of aspects, including:* Diameter * Mass * Color (and the related surface temperature) * Chemical composition * Density (related to mass and diameter) * Brightness
What is a stars brightness known as?
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.
What affects the brightness of stars?
relative "brightness" is based on distance, size, and temperature
