What is the absolute magnitude of POLARIS?
The absolute magnitude of Polaris is about -3.64. This value represents the intrinsic brightness of the star if it were observed from a standard distance of 32.6 light-years.
How many times is the star polaris brighter than the sun?
Polaris, also known as the North Star, is approximately 2,500 times brighter than the Sun. This brightness is measured in terms of absolute magnitude, where Polaris has an absolute magnitude of about -3.6, compared to the Sun's absolute magnitude of about +4.8. However, the apparent brightness of stars can vary based on their distance from Earth.
Why is polaris considered to be a very bright star even though it is not a bright star in earths sky?
That refers to its actual brightness, not to how we see it. The apparent brightness depends on the real ("absolute") brightness, but also on the distance.
What is the brightness of the Polaris?
Visual magnitude 2.02.
What does the absolute brightness of the star depend on?
the brightness of a star
What is the absolute brightness of the Rigel?
The absolute magnitude is -7.92
What rank is polaris in brightness?
It is around the 50th brightest.
A star's brightness as if it were a standard distance is called?
Absolute Brightness .
What might influence absolute brightness?
If you mean infinite brightness, then nothing.
What variable of apparent brightness is eliminated when discussing absolute brightness?
The variable of distance is eliminated when discussing absolute brightness. Absolute brightness specifically refers to the inherent brightness of an astronomical object without the influence of its distance from the observer.
What is the absolute brightness of Betelgeuse?
-6.02
What factor affects the absolute brightness of a star?
Energy output, as absolute brightness (magnitude) is taken at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
