The apparent magnitude depends on distance, and without that information, it's literally impossible to tell what it might be.

If a main sequence star has an apparent magnitude of 5 what is it's spectral type?

It may be just about anything. The apparent magnitude tells us how bright the star looks to us, not how bright it really is. The apparent magnitude (or brightness) depends both on the absolute magnitude (real brightness), but also depends on the star's distance.

What part of a star is called magnitude?

Magnitude refers to the brightness of a star. There are two main types: apparent magnitude, which is how bright a star appears from Earth, and absolute magnitude, which measures a star's intrinsic brightness.


Is the star's apparent magnitude the intrinsic property of a star?

No. Absolute magnitude is an intrinsic property of the star, but apparent magnitude also depends on the star's distance from Earth.


What is the difference between apparent magnitude and surface magnitude?

The two types are apparent magnitude, the magnitude of a star as it appears to us, and absolute magnitude, which is what a star's apparent magnitude would be at a standard distance of ten parsecs.


How bright a star appears as seen earth is called?

Apparent magnitude is the measure of how bright a star appears as seen from Earth. This scale is based on a star's brightness perceived by human observers. The lower the apparent magnitude, the brighter the star appears.

Why can apparent magnitude be a misleading number?

Apparent magnitude can be a misleading number because they do not necessarily correspond with the actual brightness of the star. The apparent magnitude is the number given to a star based on how bright it looks.
