What is the magnitude of Altair star?
Apparent magnitude is 0.77 Absolute magnitude is 2.21Wikipedia lists its visual magnitude as 0.77.
What is the magnitude Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.58 and on absolute magnitude of -6.05.
Which is what star would be the brightest magnitude 1st 2nd 3rd?
A star with a magnitude of 1 is the brightest, followed by a magnitude of 2 and then a magnitude of 3. The lower the magnitude, the brighter the star appears in the sky.
What is the magnitude for Thuban the star?
the magnitude is 3.6.
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.
What was the moment magnitude Kobe Japan 1995?
6.8 on the moment magnitude.
What was the Japan Earthquake 2011 on the moment magnitude scale?
Magnitude of the 2011 Japan earthquake on moment magnitude scale is 9.0.The use of the Richter magnitude scale has largely been replaced by the moment magnitude scale in most countries. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), for example, uses the moment magnitude scale designated as MMS or Mw to measure all large earthquakes.UPDATE: Official magnitude was updated to 9.1 on Nov 7, 2016.
What is the measure of an earthquakes strength called?
This is known as magnitude. It is measured on the moment magnitude scale.
How is the moment magnitude used to describe earthquakes?
The moment magnitude scale can be used to rate earthquakes of all sizes, near or far.
How is the energy released by the earthquake related to its moment magnitude?
The moment magnitude uses seismographs plus what physically occurs during an earthquake.
How is the energy released by an earthquake released to its moment magnitude?
The moment magnitude uses seismographs plus what physically occurs during an earthquake.
Which is a factor in calculating the moment magnitude of an earthquake?
magnitude of past earthquakes in the area
How is the energy released by an earthquake related to it's moment magnitude?
The moment magnitude uses seismographs plus what physically occurs during an earthquake.
What does moment magnitude scale measures?
The moment magnitude scale (MW) provides an estimate of the total energy released in an earthquake and is currently the preferred magnitude scale in use by seismologists for measuring large (magnitude greater than 7) earthquakes.
What system do geologists use today for rating the magnitude of an earthquake?
Geologists use the moment magnitude scale (Mw) to rate the magnitude of an earthquake today. This scale takes into account the seismic moment, which provides a more precise measurement of an earthquake's size compared to the Richter scale.
What is an earthquake's magnitude a measure of?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of how strong it is
What scale describes an earthquake with a magnitude?
There are a number of earthquake magnitude scales, including the moment magnitude scale (the scale currently favoured by seismologists), the Richter or local magnitude scale and the surface wave magnitude scale.
