What is the term for bightness of a star?

The brightness of a star is called its luminosity. This refers to the total amount of energy a star emits per second, taking into account its brightness across all wavelengths of light.


What is the measure of the star's brightness?

Why does a star look smaller than another star but is bigger than the other star?

Normally you would observe the star's brightness, not its apparent diameter.The star's apparent brightness ("apparent magnitude") depends on its real brightness ("absolute magnitude"), and on the distance. Similarly, the star's apparent angular diameter (which is VERY hard to measure) would depend on its actual diameter, and on the distance.

A star's brightness is the brightness seen by humans on Earth. A star's brightness is its actual brightness and does not depend on where the star is viewed from.?

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".


The measure of a stars brightness is called its what?

Scientists actually use two measurements to identify a star's brightness. One is luminosity, or the energy that star puts out. Another is magnitude, or the amount of light a star puts out.
