Polaris (North Star or Pole Star) has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 (Variable)
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 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.
What is the color size and apparent brightness of polaris?
The main star in the Polaris system, Polaris Aa, is a yellow super-giant, with a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times that of the sun. Its apparent magnitude is 1.98 but it is a Cepheid variable.
What is the apparent brihtness of the polaris?
The apparent brightness of the main star in the system is 1.98 but remember that this is a Cepheid variable.
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.
Is Sirius brighter than Polaris?
As seen from Earth, yes, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. In terms of actual brightness, no.
What are two characteristics that distinguish the star polaris from the star Aldebaran?
I suggest you look up each of the stars - for example on Wikipedia - and decide what characteristics you want to concentrate on. Two different stars may be different in the following characteristics: mass; diameter; color; surface temperature; distance from Earth; apparent brightness; absolute brightness; and several others.
What is the color size and apparent brightness of Vega Polaris and Arcturus?
Arcturus is orange in color, and has a mass of 2.188E30 kg. Vega has an apparent magnitude of 0.03, a white color, and the size is unknown. Comments. That answer does not fully answer the question. For example there's nothing about Polaris.
What is the color size and brightness of polaris?
Polaris, also known as the North Star, appears white to the naked eye. It has a apparent visual magnitude of around 1.97, making it one of the brightest stars in the sky. It is located in the constellation Ursa Minor (the Little Bear).
