What is earth's magnitude?
Magnitude is a measure of how bright an object is in the sky when we view it. As we are on the Earth this obviously doesn't apply. However the Earth as seen from the Sun would be around magnitude -4. If you mean how reflective is the Earth (its albedo) then it is currently around 0.3
What is the apparent magnitude of the star Deneb?
The apparent magnitude of Deneb is +1.25, a fairly bright bright star from Earth.
Is magnitude and and apprent magnitude the same thing?
apparent magnitude is how bright a stars seems from earth. magnitude (i think called actual magnitude [I cant remember]) is how bright a star ACTUALLY is.Have a nice day.
Explain a stars apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from a predetermined distance, depending on the object.For planets, the distance used is 1 AU (Astronomical Units). Stars and galaxies use 10 parsecs which is about 32.616 light years.The dimmer an object is the higher the positive value. The brighter an object is the higher the negative value.Examples:The Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.74 but an absolute magnitude of 4.83Sirius has an apparent magnitude of -1.46 but an absolute magnitude of -1.42This means that from Earth, the Sun is a lot brighter, but if the Sun was replaced by Sirius, Sirius would be 25 times more luminous.See related links for more information
What is a star like object is very bright and distant?
If this is a homework question the answer you are probably looking for is Quasar [See related question] However, the actual question is full of inconsistencies. Brightness is defined as being observed from Earth and distance is relative to your frame of reference - Apparent magnitude [See related question - Apparent magnitude] Therefore, a bright object could be the Sun, and in normal relative terms it is distant, to some very distant. A quasar on the other hand is not very bright from Earth but it is very very distant. For the question to fit the answer, the question should be "What star like object is very luminous and very far away". or "What star like object has a high absolute magnitude and is very distant [See related question - Absolute magnitude]
What determines absolute magnitude?
How bright the object would be if it was the same distance from Earth as the sun 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.

How does the apparent-magnituede of a star differ from it absolute magnitude?
Absolute magnitude is how bright a star is. Apparent magnitude is how bright it looks to us (on Earth).
What is the apparent magnitude of the star Deneb?
The apparent magnitude of Deneb is +1.25, a fairly bright bright star from Earth.
What are the relationships between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from a predetermined distance, depending on the object.For planets, the distance used is 1 AU (Astronomical Units). Stars and galaxies use 10 parsecs which is about 32.616 light years.The dimmer an object is the higher the positive value.

What is the bright object in the sun that the earth revolves around?
The bright object the Earth revolves around IS the Sun.
What is apparent and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the measure of how bright a star appears to be from our vantage point. Absolute magnitude is the measure of how bright a star would be if it were located 10 parsecs from earth.
How bright a star is as seen from earth is called?
This is called "Apparent Magnitude".

Is mass the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object?
No mass is not the magnitude of the force due to gravity on an object. Mass is the stuff of which the object is composed. The magnitude of the gravitational forces between the object and Earth ... or whatever planet the object happens to be on ... is the object's "weight".
