How is it possible for two stairs to have the same aparent magnitude but different absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness as viewed from EarthAbsolute magnitude is the brightness as viewed from the same distance - 32 light years.Therefore a star that is twice as bright but further away could have the same apparent magnitude but a different absolute magnitude.
What are two scales that are used to measure earthquake strength?
Richter or local magnitude scaleMoment magnitude scaleBonus:Surface magnitude scale
What scale describes an earthquake with a magnitude?
There are a number of earthquake magnitude scales, including the moment magnitude scale (the scale currently favoured by seismologists), the Richter or local magnitude scale and the surface wave magnitude scale.
What was the Japan Earthquake 2011 on the moment magnitude scale?
Magnitude of the 2011 Japan earthquake on moment magnitude scale is 9.0.The use of the Richter magnitude scale has largely been replaced by the moment magnitude scale in most countries. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), for example, uses the moment magnitude scale designated as MMS or Mw to measure all large earthquakes.UPDATE: Official magnitude was updated to 9.1 on Nov 7, 2016.
What is the parsecs of the bellatrix star?
The "Amazon" star, Bellatrix, has a surface temperature around 40,000*F and has a mass ten times greater than that of our sun!
Why does Bellatrix has the brightest absolute magnitude?
The simple answer is that it does not. It is important to note that stars radiate across a whole range of electromagnetic frequencies, not just in the visible part of the spectrum. Astronomers use bolometric absolute magnitude to adjust for the fact that a star may be radiating much of their energy outside of the visible range. Using the bolometric absolute magnitude, the brightest star, with magnitude -12.5 is RMC136a1 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of 163000 light years.Among stars visible to the naked eye, Bellatrix does not even make it to the top ten in terms of its bolometric absolute magnitude. That distinction goes to P Cygni with an absolute magnitude of -9.7. It is 5900 light years away. In comparison, Bellatrix has a magnitude of only -2.64
Why the star Bellatrix has the brightest absolute magnitude.?
The simple answer is that it does not: it does not even feature in the top ten!
