What is the color size and brightness of polaris?
red
What is the absolute brightness of Polaris?
The absolute magnitude of the main star in the Polaris system is -3.6
Does Polaris reflect light?
Polaris (North Star or Pole Star) has an apparent magnitude of +1.97 (Variable)
Why is polaris considered to be a very bright star even though it is not a bright star in earths sky?
That refers to its actual brightness, not to how we see it. The apparent brightness depends on the real ("absolute") brightness, but also on the distance.
What is the color size and apparent brightness of polaris?
The main star in the Polaris system, Polaris Aa, is a yellow super-giant, with a radius which is 46 +/- 3 times that of the sun. Its apparent magnitude is 1.98 but it is a Cepheid variable.
How does the sun rank its terms of size and brightness in your galaxy?
dwarf star
What is the apparent brihtness of the polaris?
The apparent brightness of the main star in the system is 1.98 but remember that this is a Cepheid variable.
Is Sirius brighter than Polaris?
As seen from Earth, yes, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. In terms of actual brightness, no.
How does the sun rank in terms of size and brightness in our galaxy?
The sun is larger and brighter than about 95% of the stars in the galaxy.
What are two characteristics that distinguish the star polaris from the star Aldebaran?
Two characteristics that distinguish the star Polaris from the star Aldebaran are their brightness and their positions in the night sky. Brightness: Polaris, also known as the North Star or Pole Star, is relatively bright and is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It serves as a reliable navigational reference point due to its brightness and its position near the North Celestial Pole. On the other hand, Aldebaran, which is located in the constellation Taurus, is also a bright star but not as bright as Polaris. Position in the night sky: Polaris is located very close to the North Celestial Pole, which means it appears almost stationary in the night sky as the Earth rotates. This makes it useful for navigation and finding the direction of true north. Aldebaran, on the other hand, is not located near any celestial pole and appears to move across the sky like other stars as the Earth rotates. These two characteristics make Polaris and Aldebaran distinct from each other in terms of brightness and their positions in the night sky.
What is the color size and apparent brightness of Vega Polaris and Arcturus?
Arcturus is orange in color, and has a mass of 2.188E30 kg. Vega has an apparent magnitude of 0.03, a white color, and the size is unknown. Comments. That answer does not fully answer the question. For example there's nothing about Polaris.
