One reason could be that the brighter star is larger and hotter, emitting more light. Another reason could be that the brighter star is located closer to Earth, making it appear brighter in the sky.
A stars brightness depends on two factors; its distance from us and its actual brightness (absolute magnitude). The actual brightness of a star depends on various factors, such as its mass, its temperature and its age.Consider two stars of the same actual brightness (absolute magnitude) - if one of them is much closer, then is will be brighter than the further one. It will appear brighter, even though it would be the same side by side - it can be said to be apparently brighter (higher apparent magnitude) due to its distance.A:They appear bigger and brighter because they really are bigger and brighter, but even if they are not bigger and brighter it could be because they are closer.
It's a close call, but Pollux is brighter. Pollux has an apparent magnitude of 1.15 whereas Castor has an apparent magnitude of 1.96.(Note: the smaller the apparent magnitude the brighter it is)
Yes, "sunnier" is the comparative form of the adjective "sunny." It is used to compare two things or situations to indicate that one has more sunshine or is brighter than the other.
A supermoon typically lasts for just one night when the full moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth in its orbit. The moon appears larger and brighter than usual during this time.
The bulb that glows brighter has a smaller resistance. This is because a larger current flows through the bulb with smaller resistance, resulting in it glowing brighter.
Yes, having two strong batteries will likely light a bulb brighter than just one battery. The combined voltage and current from the two batteries will provide more energy to the bulb, resulting in a brighter light.
That depends on so much more then just the watt of the bulb, but if you have two identical bulbs where the only difference is the amount of watt, then logic dictates that 25watt is brighter then 10watt
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
Yes, two batteries will make a light bulb brighter than one, provided that the batteries are placed in series. The brightness of the bulb is determined by the voltage, and placing two batteries in series rather than just using one increases the voltage.
Two batteries in series will cause the bulb to burn brighter.
In parallel, they both obviously have 220 v across them, so the 100 W bulb is obviously brighter than the 60 W one. The 60 W bulb has more resistance, and in series they both have to pass the same current, so the 60 W has more voltage across it and might be brighter.
The 2 bulb series circuit , a 3 bulb series circuit will increase resistance and therefore reduce the voltage across the bulb. The current in all points of the circuit will remain the same according to Kirchhoff.
Two bulbs in parallel are brighter than the same two bulbs in series, given the same potential voltage, because there is twice the available voltage to each bulb.
If you put two incandescent bulbs of the same wattage in series, they will both light with the same intensity. If one is lower wattage than the other, the lower wattage bulb will light brighter than the oter one. If you put two 115 volt bulbs of the same wattage in series across 230 volts, both will light equally, but if you use dissimilar wattages, the smaller one will burn out.
For us, it looks brighter than any star, but this is because it is much nearer. Now (March/April 2012) you can see two bright "stars" in the west, after sunset - the brighter one is planet Venus, the second-brightest one is planet Jupiter. In terms of absolute brightness, a star is brighter than a planet.
One reason could be that the brighter star is larger and hotter, emitting more light. Another reason could be that the brighter star is located closer to Earth, making it appear brighter in the sky.
