What else can I help you with?
What is the brightness of a star measurable by a scale called?
It is called the magnitude scale. It is a log scale.
What is it called when the brightness of a star is measurable on a scale?
Star brightness is defined in terms of apparent magnitude, which is how bright the star appears from Earth. Star brightness is also defined by absolute magnitude, which is how bright a star appears at the standard distance of 36.2 light years. Luminosity is also a way that a star's light is measured.
The brightest of a star measurable on a scale is called what?
The brightest a star can appear on a scale is called its "absolute magnitude." This measurement indicates how bright a star would appear if it were located at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (about 32.6 light-years) from Earth. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that a difference of 5 magnitudes corresponds to a brightness factor of 100.
What is the brightness of a star measured on a scale called?

What the measure of a stars brightness called?
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 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 a star brightness called?
the brightness of a star is called it's magnitude
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".
What is it called when a star suddenly increases in brightness?
A nova is a star that suddenly increases in brightness.
What term is used to describe a star's brightness?
It is called Vmag. This is the visual magnitude of the object. Visual magnitude is a scale used by astronomers to measure the brightness of a star or other celestial object. Visual magnitude measures only the visible light from the object. The lower the V-MAG the brighter the star. You can go to http://seasky.org/pictures/sky7b14.html to learn more.
What is it called when brightness is how bright a star seems or looks?
The brightness of a star to an observer on Earth is called it's Apparent Magnitude. The intrinsic brightness of a star is known as it's Absolute Magnitude.
A star's brightness as if it were a standard distance is called?
Absolute Brightness .
