What does measurement of the brightness of a star call?
Brightness of stars (apparent and absolute magnitude) is measured by convention, taking an another star as a standard.
What are three physical factors that determine a star's brightness?
Age of the star, size, and temperature. The answer is in another post that I saw.
What term takes into consideration the brightness of a star but ignores the differences that distance can make?
intrinsic magnitude
What is an apparent brightness?
An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.
A star whose brightness changes?
A star who's brightness changes is called a variable star.Examples are:AlgolPolarisBetelgeuse.See related link for more information.

A measure of the brightness of a star of another celestial body?
Magnitude
What does the absolute brightness of the star depend on?
the brightness of a star
What is the measure of the star's brightness?
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
What is the term for bightness of a star?
The brightness of a star is called its luminosity. This refers to the total amount of energy a star emits per second, taking into account its brightness across all wavelengths of light.

Scientists use the term magnitude to describe a star's brightness.

What measures the brightness of the star?
photographs use to measure the brightness of a star
Why does a star look smaller than another star but is bigger than the other star?
Normally you would observe the star's brightness, not its apparent diameter.The star's apparent brightness ("apparent magnitude") depends on its real brightness ("absolute magnitude"), and on the distance. Similarly, the star's apparent angular diameter (which is VERY hard to measure) would depend on its actual diameter, and on the distance.
A star's brightness is the brightness seen by humans on Earth. A star's brightness is its actual brightness and does not depend on where the star is viewed from.?
The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".
