Are the star in big dipper in the same brightness?

No. The stars are not only not the same brightness, they are not the same distance from us - they just "appear" to be as part of the optical illusion of earthbound astronomy. They are all of varying brightness, though fairly close in brightness overall.


If two stars have the same apparent magnitude are they the same distance from Earth?

No. Brighter distant stars can have the same apparent magnitude as fainter stars that are closer.(Absolute magnitude does not refer to actual brightness, but rather to what the brightness of a star would likely be at an arbitrary distance of 10 parsecs, rather than its actual distance.)


Which type of binary can have their sizes measured directly by photometry?

Neutral binary stars can have their sizes measured directly by photometry. By observing how the brightness of the system changes over time, astronomers can infer the sizes of the individual stars and the distance between them. This method can provide valuable information about the physical parameters of the binary system.


Which two groups of stars can have similar brightness?

Variable stars and main sequence stars can have similar brightness. Variable stars, like Cepheid variables, can fluctuate in brightness over time, while main sequence stars maintain a relatively stable brightness due to their fusion processes.


What is a stars brightness known as?

A star's brightness is known as its magnitude. Stars with lower magnitude numbers are brighter than stars with a higher magnitude number.

Why do you think stars very in brightness?

because they are different sizes and different distances away from earth


How are stars classifieds?

Stars are classified by their color, temperatures, sizes, and brightness, it could also be by composition and radiation.Scientists classify stars by color, luminosity, and temperature.

Why don't stars appear to be the same brightness?

Are there twenty-two stars in Sagittarius?

There are more than twenty-two stars in the constellation Sagittarius. Sagittarius is one of the largest constellations in the sky and contains numerous stars of varying brightness and sizes.


What is similarities between apparent brightness and absolute brightness?

Both relate to brightness; both are measured in the same units; both are used for astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies.


Are stars different sizes and brightness?

Yes! Some stars are supergiants, which means that they are high-mass stars. They explode in a supernova towards the end of their life. These stars are generally brighter than others. A star's brightness also depends on its temperature. Red stars are the coolest temperature, followed by orange, yellow, white and blue stars.

Is it true that two stars that have the same brightness are the same distance from earth?

Not necessarily. Two stars can have the same brightness but be at different distances from Earth. The distance of a star affects how bright it appears to us, so a closer dim star may appear as bright as a farther bright star.

Variable stars and main sequence stars can have similar brightness. Variable stars, like Cepheid variables, can fluctuate in brightness over time, while main sequence stars maintain a relatively stable brightness due to their fusion processes.
