The diffence in brightness between two stars is related to the?
Their distance away from you and their intrinsic luminosity.
What is an non-example of absolute brightness?
Anything that is not the measure of intrinsic brightness of a celestial object.
What is higher for closer stars?
If they had the same intrinsic brightness, then yes. However stars vary enormously in their intrisic brightness, so Deneb is distant, but one of the brightest stars in the Northern sky, whereas proxima centuri is the closest star to us, but so dim that it cannot be seen without a mid-size telescope.
Use intrinsic in a sentence?
This means inherent, essential to the working of the thing. Here are some sentences.Breathing is intrinsic to life.The brightness of the star is intrinsic.That is an intrinsic metabolic disease.
How does the hertzsprung Russell diagram classify stars?
increase in absolute brightness as they increase in temperature.Increase in brightness as they increase in temperature
The diffence in brightness between two stars is related to the?
Their distance away from you and their intrinsic luminosity.
What is it called when brightness is how bright a star seems or looks?
The brightness of a star to an observer on Earth is called it's Apparent Magnitude. The intrinsic brightness of a star is known as it's Absolute Magnitude.
What the measure of a stars brightness called?
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
Stars that can change their brightness?
the moon can vary its brightness and the pink elephant called aphadophalis
What is an non-example of absolute brightness?
Anything that is not the measure of intrinsic brightness of a celestial object.
What causes the apparent brightness or size of stars constellations and galaxies?
The size of stars depends on their mass and the stage of their life cycle. Constellations are just stars which happen to lie in the same general direction from Earth, and have nothing really to do with each other. Apparent brightess of a star or galaxy is the result of its intrinsic brightness and its distance from us.
What is the unit for apparent brightness?
The apparent brightness of stars is called "apparent magnitude", and it is written with a lowercase "m" after the number.
What is higher for closer stars?
If they had the same intrinsic brightness, then yes. However stars vary enormously in their intrisic brightness, so Deneb is distant, but one of the brightest stars in the Northern sky, whereas proxima centuri is the closest star to us, but so dim that it cannot be seen without a mid-size telescope.
What is the standard unit for apparent brightness?
The apparent brightness of stars is called "apparent magnitude", and it is written with a lowercase "m" after the number.
Do stars have the same brightness and sizes?
No. Stars vary greatly in size and brightness.
What information can be gained by comparing the intrinsic and apparent brightness of a star?
Its distance.
What is a stars level of brightness as viewed by the unaided eye called?
Apparent magnitude.
