It refers to the study of how bright a star actually is or how bright it appears to be. The brighter it appears, the lower its magnitude value is. Magnitude can be both positive and negative. The way stars look to us is what we refer to as Apparent Magnitude. A star that looks very faint might be a lot brighter than a star that looks brighter star, because the fainter looking star is much further away. If both were the same distance from us, the fainter star might look a lot brighter than the other star. The actual brightness of stars in this way is called the Absolute Magnitude of a star.
A magnitude scale provides an estimate of the total energy released in an earthquake. It is commonly derived based on the amplitude of seismic waves or if information is available, the size of fault displacement and the stiffness of the rockmass around the fault zone.
The moment magnitude scale (MW) provides an estimate of the total energy released in an earthquake and is currently the preferred magnitude scale in use by seismologists for measuring large (magnitude greater than 7) earthquakes.
Size of a certain parameter.
I walked at a velocity of 5 m/s
He weighs 70 kg.
I hit him with a force of 100 N.
No, magnitude means a stars brightness. It has two types of magnitude: Apparent, (how bright is seems to us, a function of how far away it is) and absolute (how bright is is in comparison to other stars, that is, it's "real" magnitude).
An earthquake magnitude scale measures the magnitude of the earthquake. This is the total amount of energy that an earthquake releases.
the magnitude of an earthquake is the amount of energy released by the earthquake. The magnitude of an earthquake is measured by the Richter scale.

The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
magnitudea measure of the amount of the energy released by earthquake . earthquake is measure through Ricthter scale that measure the magnitude of seismic waves that it has
They use the Richter scale to measure magnitude and Moment Measure to measure energy released.
You use a seismograph to measure the strength of an earthquake.
A magnitude scale. Formerly the Richter magnitude scale was used, but this has now been replaced by the Moment magnitude scale.
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.

The Richter magnitude scale is used to measure the strength of an earthquake.
The Seismograph is used to measure the Magnitude of an earthquake.
The instrument that is used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake is a seismometer.

Depends on it's magnitude which can range. Seisometers are used to measure the Magnitude of an earthquake. Magnitude is it's strength.
The measure of energy released by an earthquake depends on its magnitude. If its a high magnitude earthquake, there is a lot of energy. If there is a low magnitude, then there is little energy.
The magnitude of an earthquake is a measure of the energy that is released by the event.
