What else can I help you with?
Even though this star has an absolute magnitude greater than that of sirius it looks dimmer from earth since its 100 times farther away?
The star's absolute magnitude is a measure of its intrinsic brightness. Sirius appears brighter from Earth than a star with a greater absolute magnitude because Sirius is closer to us, which affects its apparent brightness. The star with the greater absolute magnitude might be intrinsically brighter but is much farther away, leading to its fainter appearance from Earth.
What star has a absolute magnitude greater than siriusit also looks dimmer from Earth its 100 times farther away.?

Which is greater -8 -6?
-2
What does magnitude refer to when doing mathematics?
Magnitude refers to the size of a mathematical object. The greater an object's volume, area, or length, the greater its magnitude. The magnitude of a number is referred to as its "absolute value."
If two stars have the same absolute magnitude but one of the stars is farther from earth than the other one which star would appear brighter in the night sky?
If two stars have the same absolute magnitude, the one that is closer to Earth will appear brighter in the night sky. This is because brightness as perceived from Earth depends on both the intrinsic luminosity of the star (absolute magnitude) and its distance from us. The farther star, despite having the same intrinsic brightness, will have a dimmer apparent magnitude due to the greater distance light must travel to reach us.
Which is bigger negative 5 or negative 17?
The absolute value (magnitude) of -17 is greater than the absolute value (magnitude) of -5. -5 is considered to be greater (more positive) than -17.
What star looks dimmest from earth?
What star even tho this star has an absolute magnitude greater than that of Sirius it looks dimmer from earth since it's 100 times farther away
When the farther an integer is from zero is is less or greater than its absolute value?
The absolute value of a number IS its distance from zero: not greater nor less than it.
How can you decide with of two integers is greater when both numbers are negative?
The number with the smaller absolute value (magnitude) is greater.
Why is the absolute magnitude of some stars greater their apparent magnitude?
The apparent magnitude is how bright the star appears to us, but stars are all at different distances so that a star that is really bright might look dim because it is very far away. So the absolute magnitude measures how bright the star would look if it was placed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs. When the absolute magnitude is greater than the apparent magnitude, it just means that it is closer than 10 pc. The brightest stars have absolute magnitudes around -7.
Why does Arcturus star have greater absolute magnitude than the sun buy a much lower apparent magnitude?
The apparent magnitude is how bright the star appears to us, but stars are all at different distances so that a star that is really bright might look dim because it is very far away. So the absolute magnitude measures how bright the star would look if it was placed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs. When the absolute magnitude is greater than the apparent magnitude, it just means that it is closer than 10 pc. The brightest stars have absolute magnitudes around -7.
Does our sun have a lower absolute magnitude then Betelgeuse?
No, Betelgeuse has a lower absolute magnitude compared to the Sun. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star with a much larger luminosity, making it appear brighter despite its greater distance from Earth.
