What is the magnitude of Altair star?
Apparent magnitude is 0.77 Absolute magnitude is 2.21Wikipedia lists its visual magnitude as 0.77.
What is the magnitude of Rigel?
Absolute magnitude: -7.84Apparent magnitude: +0.12
If star A is third magnitude and star B is fifth magnitude which is brighter and by what factor?
A 3rd magnitude star is brighter than a 5th magnitude star by a factor of 6.25.Each integer difference of magnitude represents a change in apparent brightness of 2.5 times. Hence, a 3rd magnitude star is 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25 times brighter than a 5th magnitude star.(check related links)
What is the magnitude Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.58 and on absolute magnitude of -6.05.
The Richter scale measures magnitude or intensity?
Magnitude
Diffentiate between intensity and magnitude?
Intensity and magnitude can mean the same thing, although it is a weak connection. The word intensity generally refers to our emotions and how we feel. Magnitude refers to size.
How are earthquake magnitude and intensity measured?
Earthquake magnitude is measured using a number of differing scales including the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale and the surface magnitude scale. Intensity is measured using he Modified Mercalli intensity scale.
Why is a 8.0 magnitude earthquake considered a low intensity earthquake?
It isn't. A magnitude 8.0 is a very high intensity earthquake.
Differentiate between magnitude and intensity?
The difference between magnitude and intensity is.... Intensity is the effects of the earth quake. aka: damage and devastation. Magnitude is the strength of the earth quake that is measured by the Richter Scale. (correct me if im wrong at all) :)

180
What is the intensity of 7.5 magnitude?
baguio city
How a magnitude earthquake could be classified as a low-intensity earthquake?
A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low intensity by descriptions of damage to buildings and terrain. The intensity is often greatest near the earthquakes epicenter.
How a magnitude-8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low-intensity earthquake?
A magnitude of 8.0 earthquake could be classified as a low intensity by descriptions of damage to buildings and terrain. The intensity is often greatest near the earthquakes epicenter.
What is itensity?
Intensity is the magnitude of (some quality, such as) power or size.
