What do you use to measure the distance to far away stars?

Light years, parsecs, and kiloparsecs. Light years and parsecs are used to measure distances between neighbouring star system's, kiloparsecs are used to measure distances within a galaxy.


What distance is the absolute magnitude and the apparent magnitude of a star would be equal if the star is seen at?

The standard distance is 10 parsecs. At this distance the star's apparent magnitude equals its absolute magnitude. A star 100 parsecs away has an absolute magnitude 5 magnitudes brighter than its apparent magnitude. 1 parsec is 3.26 light-years.

What is a megaparspec?

1 megaparsec is a distance, equal to 1 million parsecs. 1 parsec is the distance of about 3.26 light years. It's the distance from us that an object is if ... in six months, when the Earth moves from one side of its orbit to the other side ... the object 1 parsec away appears to shift its position against the 'distant background' objects by 1 second = 1/3,600 of a degree.

If a star has a parallax of 0.20 arc seconds what is the distance to that star?

I assume you mean the parallax. If the parallax is 0.1 arc-seconds, then the distance is 1 / 0.1 = 10 parsecs.I assume you mean the parallax. If the parallax is 0.1 arc-seconds, then the distance is 1 / 0.1 = 10 parsecs.I assume you mean the parallax.
