apparent magnitude is how bright a stars seems from earth. magnitude (i think called actual magnitude [I cant remember]) is how bright a star ACTUALLY is.

Have a nice day.

Are absolute magnitude and apprent magnitude the same thing?

No, absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude are not the same thing. Apparent magnitude is a measure of how bright an object appears from Earth, taking into account its distance and intrinsic brightness. Absolute magnitude, on the other hand, is a measure of how bright an object would appear if it were located at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) away from Earth.


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.)


A first magnitude star is times brighter than a 5th magnitude 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.


How does the light from a flashlight that is shone from two differences model the apparent magnitude of two stars with the same absolute magnitude?

yall dont know that yall losers


What are the two types of magnitude?

The two types of magnitudes are absolute magnitude, which measures the actual brightness of a star as if it were at a standard distance from Earth, and apparent magnitude, which measures how bright a star seems from Earth.

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.

Can magnitude of A-B vector be the same as B-A?

The magnitude is the same, the direction vector is not.

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.


How two vectors of same magnitude be oriented to give a resultant of same magnitude?

at 120 degree


Can the magnitude of resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude be equal of magnitude of either vector?

yes


What is the magnitude of a star if all stars were the same distance from earth?

Absolute magnitude


What is a positive add a negative?

The sum will have the same sign as the number with the largest magnitude. If the numbers have the same magnitude, then the answer is zero, which is positive.


Can your speed and velocity ever have the same magnitude?

Speed and velocity always have the same magnitude, becausespeed is the magnitude of velocity.The difference is that velocity has a direction but speed doesn't


Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?

velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
