What is the moon's apparent magnitude?

Answer 1

The apparent magnitude of Mercury varies because its brightness changes as it moves in its orbit about the sun. And the earth, from which we view Mercury and make a determination as regards it apparent magnitude, moves as well. It varies from -1.9 to 5.5 as we see it. (Some sources hold a -2.0 as a lower limit.) A link can be found below.

Answer 2

The apparent magnitude of Venus ranges from -4.9 (full) to -3.8 (crescent).

Answer 3

The apparent magnitude of Jupiter is 1.6 to -2.6 depending on where it is at.

Answer 4

Venus has an apparent magnitude of:

• Crescent −4.9
• Full −3.8.

See related question for apparent magnitude.

Answer 5

Neptune's apparent magnitude is about 8, making it much to faint to see without a telescope.

Answer 6

If you mean the planet Mars, that's +1.6 to -3.0. The fairly large variation is mainly due to the varying distance from Earth.

Answer 7

The apparent magnitude of Venus is -4.9 (brightest @crescent) and -3.8 (full)

Answer 8

The moon's apparent magnitude typically ranges from about -12.6 to -5.5, depending on its phase and distance from Earth. This means it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky.

Answer 9

-2.5 to -12.9

-12.9 is a full moon
