Although it does not emit its own light like a star, the planet Venus is very close to Earth compared to the stars. This means that the light reflected off its surface from the sun makes it brighter than the distant stars.
The apparent magnitude is 2.4
The apparent magnitude of Deneb is +1.25, a fairly bright bright star from Earth.
The apparent magnitude is 4.5821
The apparent magnitude is how bright the star appears to us, but stars are all at different distances so that a star that is really bright might look dim because it is very far away. So the absolute magnitude measures how bright the star would look if it was placed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs. When the absolute magnitude is greater than the apparent magnitude, it just means that it is closer than 10 pc. The brightest stars have absolute magnitudes around -7.
The standard distance is 10 parsecs. At this distance the star's apparent magnitude equals its absolute magnitude. A star 100 parsecs away has an absolute magnitude 5 magnitudes brighter than its apparent magnitude. 1 parsec is 3.26 light-years.
No. Absolute magnitude is an intrinsic property of the star, but apparent magnitude also depends on the star's distance from Earth.
The two types are apparent magnitude, the magnitude of a star as it appears to us, and absolute magnitude, which is what a star's apparent magnitude would be at a standard distance of ten parsecs.
That object is easily visible with a pair of binoculars. A star's apparent brightness is exactly 100 times less than another star if its apparent magnitude is +5 greater. So, the star of magnitude 7.3 appears 100 times fainter than a star of magnitude 2.3. (Polaris is a bit brighter than magnitude 2.3).
The apparent magnitude of a star is a measure of its brightness.
The apparent magnitude is 2.4
Absolute magnitude is how bright a star is. Apparent magnitude is how bright it looks to us (on Earth).

Apparent Magnitude is the star's brightness as it appears from earth, while, Absolute Magnitude is the apparent brightness of a star if viewed from a distance of 32.6 light years away.

The apparent magnitude of a star is a measure of its brightness as seen from Earth, the lower the number, the brighter a star is. Ex. a star that has an apparent magnitude of -20 is WAY brighter from Earth than a star with a apparent magnitude of 20.
The apparent magnitude is 4.5821
