What can you find about a star when using telescope?

When using a telescope, you can observe a star's brightness, color, size, and distance from Earth. Depending on the telescope's capabilities, you may also gather information about a star's temperature, composition, and movement through the sky.


How will a star bright if it was near the sun?

A star near the Sun might be brighter or dimmer, it depends on how big it is. Each star has an absolute magnitude and if you find out a star's absolute magnitude, and then subtract 31.4, that would be its visual magnitude at the Sun's distance from us.


What planet is closer to the northern star?

On average, all planets in the Solar system are the same distance from the northern star. At any given time, some planets will technically be closer than others, but the difference is so small compared to the overall distance that they might as well be the same.


Do star color indicates the absolute distance?

No, the color of a star does not directly indicate its absolute distance. Star color is related to its surface temperature, and stars of different temperatures can be located at varying distances from Earth. The brightness of a star, as measured by its apparent magnitude, is more indicative of its distance.


What could you say about a star whose absolute visual magnitude was 0 and whose visual magnitude was also 0?

That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.That means that by definition, the star is at the standard distance of 10 parsecs.

How would navigation change if the north star were closer to earth?

Nothing would change in this case. A change in direction might affect navigation, but a change in distance would hardly be noticed. Except that it would be a bit brighter, and easier to notice.


If a star's parallax angle is too small to measure what can you conclude about the star's distance from earth?

It means that the distance is greater than a certain amount - depending on how precisely you can measure the parallax.

A star might be much brighter than it appears to be. This is called the star's absolute magnitude. The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's -?

What does the size of the image of a star in a photograph tell us about the star?

depending on the color of its surrounding it makes it easier for scientists to see how old the star is how far it is and what might the star be catergized as.


In space How do we know how far a so and so Star is from Earth?

Several methods are used, depending on the distance. For nearer stars, the parallax method is used: Sine Earth moves around the Sun, the direction of the star, against the background, changes. This method, of course, requires precise measurement of the parallax (of this angular change), as well as knowledge of the distance between the Sun and Earth.


Why does orbital distance change?

Orbits are shaped like an ellipse, with the star at the focus. An ellipse does not have a constant radius.


What if the Sun were expanding into a giant star today How might you cope with this change?

What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?

It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.

Star differs in color depending upon their?

age and shape Chiefly depending on their temperature and size. The age can affect these, but it not the cause of the color change itself.


Is parallax a star?

The parallax refers to the apparent change in the star's position, due to Earth's movement around the Sun. This parallax can be used to measure the distance to nearby stars (the closer the star, the larger will its parallax be).
