Best Answer

A star the size of our Sun or smaller is too small to become a "Nova", so we can expect that the original brightness of a "nova" star is probably brighter than the Sun; possibly a lot brighter.

Why must astronmers figure out a star's distance to calculate it's actual brightness?

For the same real brightness, at a larger distance it would look less bright. On the other hand, you may have two stars that look like they are the same brightness, but one might be million times brighter (in real brightness) than the other - which would be compensated by the fact that the brighter star is a thousand times farther away.


Are stars different sizes and brightness?

Yes! Some stars are supergiants, which means that they are high-mass stars. They explode in a supernova towards the end of their life. These stars are generally brighter than others. A star's brightness also depends on its temperature. Red stars are the coolest temperature, followed by orange, yellow, white and blue stars.


What is the difference between a twelfth magnitude and fifteenth magnitude star?

Three magnitudes, and the 12th magnitude star is the brighter star. Mathematically it means the brightness difference is about: 2.512 x 2.512 x 2.512. That's about 15.85 times brighter.

What does the sun erupting mean?

There are huge (several times the size of the earth) storms on the surface of the Sun, sometimes these cause gigantic flares to expand out from the surface of the star into space. These "flares" are said to "erupt".

What is the stars actaul brightness?

That is called "absolute brightness" or "absolute magnitude". It is defined as how bright a star would look at a standard distance (10 parsec, to be precise). The brightness of stars can vary a lot; some stars (supergiants) are millions of times as bright as our Sun, others (red dwarves) are thousands of times less bright. (Our Sun is in the top 10 percentile, though.)
