When a star is moved twice as far away, it appears dimmer because its light gets spread out over a larger distance. Just like a big hug from a loved one, stars radiate their warmth best when they're close by.

The earth is moved from 1 au from the sun to 2 au from the sun how is the apparent brightness of the sun as seen from earth affected?

The apparent brightness of the sun would decrease because the intensity of sunlight weakens with distance. By moving the Earth from 1 AU to 2 AU, the distance between the Earth and the Sun doubles, resulting in a decrease in the amount of sunlight reaching Earth and causing a decrease in apparent brightness.


What would happen to the brightness of a bulb if you slid an alligator clip along the pencil lead?

The brightness of the bulb would decrease as the alligator clip moved along the pencil lead. This is because the resistance in the circuit would increase as the clip moves farther from the battery source, resulting in less current flow and therefore less brightness in the bulb.

What is the effect of the distance of the stars on its magnitude?

Magnitude is brightness. As stars are further away they're dimmer. It may seem like a star that twice as far away would be half as bright but it doesn't work that way. Brightness falls off in proportion to the square of the distance away. A star that is twice as far away is one-fourth as bright.

Would the brightness of a parallel circuit of 3 globes increase or decrease when a fourth is added?

The brightness would remain constant but the power draw will increase. If the circuit was series wired, the brightness would go down as you added bulbs.
