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. Apparent Magnitude is what it looks to be, whereas absolute is its actual mangnitude.
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.
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.)
Is a star's absolute magnitude dependent on its distance from the observer?
Absolute magnitude is based on an observer being at the same distance from any star.Apparent magnitude is based on the brightness of a star from Earth without any atmosphere.
What are the two types of magnitude?
The magnitude of north poles and south poles. If you have two of the same ones they suck together but if they're different then they blow apart.
Are absolute magnitude and apprent magnitude the same thing?
No. Apparent Magnitude is what it looks to be, whereas absolute is its actual mangnitude.
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.
When do two vectors cancel each other?
When they have the same magnitude, but opposite directions.When they have the same magnitude, but opposite directions.When they have the same magnitude, but opposite directions.When they have the same magnitude, but opposite directions.
Can magnitude of A-B vector be the same as B-A?
The magnitude is the same, the direction vector is not.
Would for a right triangle to have the same magnitude?

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
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
What is the magnitude of a star if all stars were the same distance from earth?
Absolute magnitude
What are the two locations of the highest magnitude earthquakes and what is the magnitude?
Earthquake magnitude has only been a quantitative thing for a short while. There have been huge EQs in the Earth's history that have no record of the 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.
