Is the apparent magnitude of a star the amount of light is actually gives off?
No. It's what we see. (The amount it actually gives off is called the absolute magnitude.)
Actual amount of light that a star gives off?
it is florecent gasses that take thousands of years for the light to travel to earth so by the time we see the stars, they could already be long gone
What term is used to describe the actual amount of light given off by a star at a standard distance?
