What is the suns absolute magnitude from earth?

You cannot ask for an absolute magnitude and specify the distance, as the absolute magnitude is derived from a set distance of 32.616 light years.At that distance, the absolute magnitude of the Sun is +4.83From Earth the apparent magnitude -26.74

What is a stars brightness as if it were a standard distance?

Theres `Absolute Magnitude` which is the brightness of a star at a set distance. Then there is `Apparent Magnitude` which is the apparent brightness from earth, regardless of distance.


Is a star's absolute magnitude dependent on its distance from the observer?

Absolute magnitude is based on an observer being at the same distance from any star.Apparent magnitude is based on the brightness of a star from Earth without any atmosphere.


How does apparent magnitude of a star differ from absolute magnitude?

Apparent magnitude is the brightness as observed from earth, while absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star at a set distance. The apparent magnitude considers the stars actual brightness as well as it's distance from us, but absolute magnitude takes the distance factor out so that star brightnesses can be directly compared.
