It's electromagnetic radiation, part of the spectrum of which is visible light. The question actually asks what is the AMOUNT of light a star gives off. So we are looking for a quantity here, measured in photons.
In relative terms we use absolute and absolute magnitude. [See related question]
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the amount of light a star gives off?
The amount of light a star gives off is the intensity or luminosity. Absolute Magnitude measures the amount of light given off.
Is the apparent magnitude of a star the amount of light is actually gives off?
No. It's what we see. (The amount it actually gives off is called the absolute magnitude.)
A star's brightness is determined by the amount of light it gives off and its distance from?
The observer.
The amount of light a star gives off is called what?
its called magnitude or luminosity. :) hope it helped you.

What is a body of gas that gives off tremendous amount of radiant energy in the form of light and heat?
A star is a body of gas that gives off tremendous amounts of radiant energy in the form of light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
An object that gives off its own light?
A star
Actual amount of light that a star gives off?
The amount of light that a star emits is measured using the concept of luminosity. Luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted by a star per unit of time, typically expressed in watts. It is determined by the star's size, temperature, and age. The brightness that we observe from Earth also depends on the star's distance from us.
A measure of the amount of the light off given off by a star is its?
Magnitude
What is the actual amount of light a star gives off?
It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
What gives a star its light?
A star gives off light through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms in its core combine to form helium, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
What is the actual amount of light a star gives off called?
The actual amount of light a star gives off is called its luminosity. Luminosity is a measure of the total amount of energy emitted by a star per unit time, typically expressed in terms of watts or solar luminosities. Luminosity is a crucial parameter in understanding the characteristics and evolution of stars.
