What else can I help you with?
Is the brightness of a star compared to other stars called its magnitude.?
No; the "magnitude" is how bright the star is. It can either mean:* The apparent magnitude = how bright it seems to us, * The absolute magnitude = how bright the star really is (i.e., how bright it would seem at a standard distance).
A star might be much brighter than it appears to be This is called the star's absolute magnitude The difference in apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude is due primarily to the star's?
distance from the Earth. The apparent magnitude of a star is how bright it appears from Earth, while the absolute magnitude is how bright a star would be if it were located at a standard distance of 10 parsecs away from Earth. The difference in magnitude is primarily influenced by the star's distance, with closer stars having a smaller difference and more distant stars having a larger difference between their apparent and absolute magnitude.
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.
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 is Brightness a star would have at a distance of 32.6 light years from earth?
That's called the star's "absolute magnitude".
What is a star brightness called?

What part of a star measures magnitude?
Magnitude refers to a star's brightness.
What star is called its magnitude?

How bright a star actually is at a distance of 32.6 light years away from earth is?
That's the number called the star's "Absolute Magnitude".That is called the star's "absolute magnitude".
What is the magnitude of a star as it appears in the sky called?
The Polar star is the star that is magnitude. This is a Luminosity star.
Name for How bright a star is from the earth?
The brightness of a star is called visual magnitude. The lower the visual magnitude is the brighter the star is.
