Venus has the greatest visual magnitude when viewed from Earth.
Note: one might think Jupiter would have the greatest visual magnitude, but Jupiter is quite far away from Earth, and reflects back much less sunlight than the inner planets.

∙ 15y agoVenus has a brighter visual magnitude for two reasons.
1. Venus is closer to the sun, and only shines by reflected sunlight.
2. Venus is a lot CLOSER than Jupiter is.

What is the most brilliant planet in the solar system?
me The planets. unlike the sun do not produce their own light. As seen from Earth, the planet with the greatest magnitude is Venus.
What is the limiting visual apparent magnitude of a 200 inch diameter telescope?
The limiting visual apparent magnitude of a 200 inch diameter telescope is very large. It will reach a magnitude of over 500.
I am given the bolometric BC equals -1.46 and the visual magnitude V equals 4.33 of a star. how do you calculate the angular diameter?
The bolometric correction allows you to convert between visual and bolometric (total) magnitude - where the bolometric magnitude includes all radiation emitted by the star, not just visible light. It has nothing to do with the angular diameter.
Does a planet have the greatest inertia?
It depends on what type of planet it is.... which one is it?
Mercury has the greatest what?
Mercury has the greatest temperature extremes of and planet.
What planet exhibit the greatest variation in apparent brightness from earth?
Mercury's brightness, as seen from Earth, can vary as much as 6 magnitudes, depending on where it is in its orbit. This variation in apparent visual magnitude is the greatest compared to the other planets within our solar system.

What is the brightness of the Polaris?
Visual magnitude 2.02.
Which star is brighter a star with a magnitude of 3.2 or 4.6?
A star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.2 appears 1.4 magnitudes brighter than another one whose apparent visual magnitude is 4.6 .
How much brighter is a star with an apparent visual magnitude of 13.4 than a star with an apparent visual magnitude of 15.4?
13.4 -15.4=2 so 2 % brighter
