That is called the Hertzsprung-Russell or HR diagram and each star occupies a point. The horizontal axis is temperature and the vertical axis is the absolute magnitude.

What is the difference between apparent magnitude and surface magnitude?

The two types are apparent magnitude, the magnitude of a star as it appears to us, and absolute magnitude, which is what a star's apparent magnitude would be at a standard distance of ten parsecs.

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 from the Earth. The apparent magnitude of a star is how bright it appears from Earth, while the absolute magnitude is how bright a star would be if it were located at a standard distance of 10 parsecs away from Earth. The difference in magnitude is primarily influenced by the star's distance, with closer stars having a smaller difference and more distant stars having a larger difference between their apparent and absolute magnitude.


What is the difference between absolute temperature scale and kelvin scale urgent I am convinced that there is a difference?

The Kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0K represents absolute zero. The absolute temperature scale refers to any temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, such as the Kelvin scale. So, the Kelvin scale is a specific type of absolute temperature scale.


What is a disadvantage of absolute magnitude?

I assume you mean the absolute magnitude (brightness) of stars. The problem with this is that it can't be directly measured. What astronomers can measure is the apparent magnitude. To make conclusions about the absolute magnitude, they would also have to know the distance to the star, as well as data about extinction, i.e., how much dust and gas there is between us and the start which may make the light look fainter. Note that the absolute magnitude is very important to characterize a star - but it may be difficult to calculate it with much precision.


Which stars always have large positive absolute magnitude?

Does it mean that the star is a main sequesnce star? ( . Y . ) The above isn't true. A star can be a blue supergiant and be on the main sequence but still not be even visible to us, therefore the apparent and absolute magnitude wouldn't be the same. But to answer your question, I don't think it has a name, it just means that you are seeing the star's absolute and apparent magnitude at the same time, so if you placed the star at 32.6 light years away(the absolute magnitude scale)then the star would not appear to change in brightness


What the relationship between magnitude and size of the star?

The brightness of a star depends on its temperature, size and distance from the earth. The measure of a star's brightness is called its magnitude. Bright stars are first magnitude stars. Second magnitude stars are dimmer. The larger the magnitude number, the dimmer is the star.The magnitude of stars may be apparent or absolute.


What does and H-R diagram relate a star's temperature to?

The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram) shows the relationship between absolute magnitude, luminosity, classification, and effective temperature of stars. The diagram as originally conceived displayed the spectral type (effectively the surface temperature) of stars on the horizontal axis and the absolute magnitude (their intrinsic brightness) on the vertical axis.
