Brightness of stars (apparent and absolute magnitude) is measured by convention, taking an another star as a standard.
An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.
That type of star is called a supernova. Supernovae occur when a star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic explosion, releasing a tremendous amount of energy and increasing its brightness significantly for a brief period of time.
Magnitude refers to the brightness of a star. There are two main types: apparent magnitude, which is how bright a star appears from Earth, and absolute magnitude, which measures a star's intrinsic brightness.
The real brightness of a star is called its absolute magnitude. This is a measure of the star's intrinsic luminosity, or how bright it would appear if it were located at a standard distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) from Earth.

the brightness of a star
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
photographs use to measure the brightness of a star
The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".
Absolute magnitude is a measure of a celestrial object brightness at a set distance. For a star, it would be the brightness at a set distance of 10 parsecs or around 32 lightyears. For a solar system object it would be the brightness from 1 AU. It takes the objects distance out of the equation so that star brightnesses can be directly compared.
There is no purpose of a star's brightness. They just exist and shine.
The brightness of a star as observed from Earth is known as its apparent magnitude. This measurement reflects how bright the star appears in the sky, which can be influenced by factors such as distance, size, and luminosity. In contrast, a star's intrinsic brightness, or true luminosity, is referred to as its absolute magnitude. These two concepts help astronomers understand both the distance to stars and their actual energy output.
An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
A nova is a star that suddenly increases in brightness.
Absolute Brightness: How bright a star appears at a certain distance. Apparent Brightness: The brightness of a star as seen from Earth.
