well, in answer to that, there's a question to you. What type of star is Beta Virginis?
Most likely, it may be a binary star. Try that ;-)
what is the magnitude of the star Alioth in the constellation Ursa Major
Magnitude is a measure of brightness, there is no relationship with density.
How far away the star is.
True.
Alpha Persei (Mirfak or Algenib) is the brightest star in the constellation of Perseus.It has an apparent magnitude of 1.79 and an absolute magnitude of -4.50
Beta Virginis (Zavijava) is a star in the constellation Virgo.It has a spectral class of F9V which means it is a main sequence star with a colour of yellow-white.

Beta Virginis (Zavijava) is a star in the constellation Virgo. It also has the names Zavijah and Alaraph.It is approximately 35.6 light years from us.
the brightness of a star is called it's magnitude
The magnitude is the brightness of the star.
A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.A magnitude 1 star is 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.
The magnitude of a star means how bright it is.
The Polar star is the star that is magnitude. This is a Luminosity star.
For apparent magnitudes, a magnitude of zero has the same magnitude as Vega. A first magnitude star is 40 percent as bright and a fifth magnitude star is one percent. So, a first magnitude star is 40 times as bright as a fifth.
The 8th magnitude star is about 2.5 times brighter.
A star with a magnitude of 2.0 is a star that is exactly 2.1544 times as bright as a star whose magnitude is 3.0, and (1/2.1544) times as bright as one with a magnitude of 1.0
No. The difference in 1 magnitude is the 5th root of 100 which is about 2.512. So a 3rd magnitude star is 2.512 times as bright as a 4th magnitude star.
