What are the two ways stars are classified?
Stars are classified based on their spectral characteristics, which categorizes them into spectral types (O, B, A, F, G, K, M) based on the temperature of their surface. They are also classified based on their luminosity, which categorizes them into different classes (I, II, III, IV, V) based on their brightness compared to the Sun.
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 are two factors that determine the brightness of a star?
distance from the sun and the age of the star
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.)
What are the ways stars are classified?
Two ways are by temperature and brightness

What are the two ways you can classify stars?
The two ways are by their surface temperature (spectrum) and by their absolute magnitude (intrinsic brightness). The HR diagram has spectrum along the horizontal axis and absolute magnitude along the vertical axis. Each star occupies a point in the HR diagram.
The diffence in brightness between two stars is related to the?
Their distance away from you and their intrinsic luminosity.
What do you call two revolving stars of unequal brightness?
Two stars revolving around one another (around their center of mass, to be precise) are called a "binary star". There is no special name for the case that the brightness is unequal; this is actually the usual case.
What two factor affect a stars apparent brightness?
Two factors that affect a star's apparent brightness are: 1.) The distance between the Earth and the star 2.) The absolute magnitude (the actual brightness) of the star Hope that helps :P
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.

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.
