The main difference between the events that any auxiliary equipment is not used in the high jump by the athlete. In contrast, the athlete jumps with the pole as an assisting equipment in the pole vault to pass over the bar. All athletes have three attempts per height during the competition.

∙ 13y agoIf the Star's size is bigger, then the magnitude will also be larger. The magnitude is the brightness of a star. If the stars magnitude is greater, the size will be greater too.
A larger surface area (due to a larger mass) will emit more energy (a greater absolute magnitude).
Note however that there are very massive but small objects (neutron stars, black holes, etc.) that even though they have a great mass have small absolute magnitude (or are even invisible - or almost invisible).

What is difference in a star's apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude caused by?
How far away the star is.
Is it possible for two regular stars to have the same absolute magnitude but differ in apparent magnitude?
One dimmer star can be closer than a brighter star that is far away. Light flux decreases as the square of the distance. A star that is three times as far away will have to shine nine times brighter than the closer star (absolute magnitude) to appear to have the same magnitude (apparent magnitude). Because apparent magnitude is the brightness of a star, as seen from Earth, whereas absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star as seen from the same distance - about 32.6 light years away.
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.
How will a star bright if it was near the sun?
A star near the Sun might be brighter or dimmer, it depends on how big it is. Each star has an absolute magnitude and if you find out a star's absolute magnitude, and then subtract 31.4, that would be its visual magnitude at the Sun's distance from us.
Which magnitude gives the most information about the physical nature of a star?
absolute bolometric magnitude
What is the absolute magnitude of Altiar?
The star is called Altair; the absolute magnitude is estimated at 2.21.The star is called Altair; the absolute magnitude is estimated at 2.21.The star is called Altair; the absolute magnitude is estimated at 2.21.The star is called Altair; the absolute magnitude is estimated at 2.21.
How bright a star actually is at a distance of 32.6 light years away from earth is?
That's the number called the star's "Absolute Magnitude".That is called the star's "absolute magnitude".
Is the brightness of a star compared to other stars called its magnitude.?
No; the "magnitude" is how bright the star is. It can either mean:* The apparent magnitude = how bright it seems to us, * The absolute magnitude = how bright the star really is (i.e., how bright it would seem at a standard distance).
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).
A star might be much brighter than it appears to be This is called the star's absolute magnitude The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's?
Distance
A star might be much brighter than it appears to be. This is called the star's absolute magnitude. The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's -?
Distance
What distance is the absolute magnitude and the apparent magnitude of a star would be equal if the star is seen at?
The standard distance is 10 parsecs. At this distance the star's apparent magnitude equals its absolute magnitude. A star 100 parsecs away has an absolute magnitude 5 magnitudes brighter than its apparent magnitude. 1 parsec is 3.26 light-years.
What is difference in a star's apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude caused by?
How far away the star is.
How are absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude alike?
Absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude are the same because they are both ways on how to measure the brightness of a star. Absolute magnitude is how bright is the star if we will see it in a 32.616 light-years distance while apparent magnitude is the brightness of it that we see on Earth.
Is it possible for two regular stars to have the same absolute magnitude but differ in apparent magnitude?
One dimmer star can be closer than a brighter star that is far away. Light flux decreases as the square of the distance. A star that is three times as far away will have to shine nine times brighter than the closer star (absolute magnitude) to appear to have the same magnitude (apparent magnitude). Because apparent magnitude is the brightness of a star, as seen from Earth, whereas absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star as seen from the same distance - about 32.6 light years away.
How bright a star actually is a distance of 32.6 light years from earth is called?
That's called the star's absolute magnitude.
Compare and contrast apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent Magnitude is the star's brightness as it appears from earth. absolute magnitude is the apparent brightness of a star if viewed from a distance of 32.6 light years away.
