What is magnatued?
It appears there may have been a misspelling. If you meant "magnitude," it refers to the size or importance of something. Magnitude can be measured in various ways depending on the context, such as in physics (magnitude of force), astronomy (magnitude of stars), or seismology (magnitude of earthquakes).
What is a stars brightness known as?
A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.
Why is the absolute magnitude of some stars greatar than their apparent magnitude?
The question is: Why is the apparent magnitude of some stars less than their absolute magnitude. Or: Why do some stars not look as bright as they really are ? The answer is: Because they're so far away from us.
A measure of a stars brightness is called its?
Magnitude. First magnitude descibes many bright stars, and a span of five magnitudes represents a difference of a hundred times in the star's brightness. The dimmest stars seen by a perfect human eye in perfect conditions is 6th magnitude.
What magnitude of star can the human eye see?
The human eye can typically see stars with a magnitude of about +6 or brighter on the magnitude scale. Brighter magnitudes correspond to dimmer stars.
What is the measure of a stars brightness?
Magnitude.
What is the magnitude of a star if all stars were the same distance from earth?
Absolute magnitude
What magnitude is the big dipper?
The Big Dipper is not a star, but an asterism made up of seven bright stars that are part of the constellation Ursa Major. The stars in the Big Dipper range in magnitude from about 1.8 to 3.3.
What is the 4th magnitude star?
First magnitude stars are by definition the brightest stars.Therefore a number of bright stars are:Our SunSiriusCanopusArcturusAlpha Centauri AVegaRigelProcyonAchernarBetelgeuse
How are stars brightness compared to each other?
Astronomers use the term magnitude to compare the brightnesses of stars. Really bright stars are 1st magnitude while the faintest we can see with the naked eye are about magnitude 6. A 12 inch telescope can see down to about magnitude 14 or 15. Hubble Space Telescope can see down to about magnitude 27.
Are the brightest stars low or high magnitude?
The brightest stars have a low magnitude. Magnitude is measured on a logarithmic scale where lower numbers indicate brighter objects. The brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, has a magnitude of -1.46.
The Greeks assigned what magnitude to the brightest stars seen in the night sky?
The brightest stars were traditionally magnitude 1; the weakest that could still be seen with the naked eye, 6. This system has been formalized and refined; as a result, there are now not only magnitudes with decimals, but also negative magnitudes for the very brightest stars and planets. For example, Venus has a magnitude of approximately minus 4.
