The star that is approximately 100 times farther from Earth than Sirius A is Procyon, which is located about 11.4 light-years away. In comparison, Sirius A is around 8.6 light-years from Earth. Procyon is part of the constellation Canis Minor and is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Its distance makes it significantly farther than Sirius A, despite both being relatively close in astronomical terms.
No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is much farther down the list.
Yes, the star with the higher absolute magnitude will appear dimmer from Earth if it is located farther away. This is because brightness decreases with distance due to the inverse square law of light, meaning that a star will appear dimmer the farther it is from the observer.
Sirius is a binary star system consisting of two stars: Sirius A and Sirius B. Sirius A is the larger and more luminous star, with a diameter of about 1.7 times that of the Sun. Sirius B is a white dwarf star with a diameter of about 12,000 kilometers, roughly the size of Earth. The distance between the two stars is about 20 AU (astronomical units).
Sirius appears brighter than Pollux because it is closer to Earth and is a more luminous star. Sirius is also a hot, blue star compared to Pollux, which is a cooler, orange giant star, further contributing to the difference in brightness.
The sun is a star, the closest one to Earth. The next nearest star to Earth is about 265,000 times farther away than the sun is.
What star even tho this star has an absolute magnitude greater than that of Sirius it looks dimmer from earth since it's 100 times farther away

No. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Polaris is much farther down the list.
There are probably hundreds, or thousands, of stars at approximately that distance.
The star's absolute magnitude is a measure of its intrinsic brightness. Sirius appears brighter from Earth than a star with a greater absolute magnitude because Sirius is closer to us, which affects its apparent brightness. The star with the greater absolute magnitude might be intrinsically brighter but is much farther away, leading to its fainter appearance from Earth.
No. There is no such thing as an "earth-like star" as Earth is a planet, not a star. Sirius A is a star that is larger and brighter than the sun.

No, Sirius is not an asteroid. Sirius is a binary star system consisting of the brighter star, Sirius A, and its companion, Sirius B, which is a white dwarf star. It is the brightest star in the Earth's night sky.
Yes. Sirius actually consists of two stars. The main object, Sirius A is not only bigger than Earth but is almost twice the diameter of the sun. The secondary star, Sirius B is a collapsed remnant of a star called a white dwarf. It is slightly smaller than Earth but far denser.
No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
