The apparent magnitude (AM) [See Link] is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth, in the absence of the atmosphere. The brighter the object appears, the lower the value of its magnitude.
The Sun has an AM of -26.73 whereas a full Moon has an AM of -12.6.
The scale is logarithmic: the relative brightness of two objects is determined by the difference of their magnitudes. Pogson's Ratio was suggested in 1856 so that each decrease in magnitude represented a decrease in brightness equal to the fifth-root of 100 (or about 2.512)
So, the difference in magnitude is (-12.6) - (-26.73) giving 14.13
Thus 2.51214.13 = 449,032.
Close enough to half a million.
What else can I help you with?
How do you draw a diagram showing which moon would be brightest from Jupiter?
The four main moons all look about the same brightness as seen from Earth, and they are all at about the same distance from the Earth. That means that their brightness seen from Jupiter would depend on their distances from Jupiter.
What would Jupiters moons look like from Jupiters surface?
From Jupiter's surface, its moons would appear as bright points of light in the sky, similar to our view of Jupiter's moons from Earth. They would range in size and brightness depending on their distance from Jupiter and their individual characteristics. The sight would be quite spectacular, with some moons appearing larger than others and potentially casting shadows on Jupiter's surface.
What is the order of brightness of Jupiters moons from Jupiter?
The order of brightness of Jupiter's major moons from brightest to faintest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the closest to Jupiter and receives more sunlight, while Callisto is the farthest and receives the least amount of sunlight, making it the dimmest of the four.
How many moons does it need to fill the Sun?
The volume of the Sun is 3.4 x 1017The volume of the Moon is 2.195 x 1010Therefore, you could fit x Moons in the Sun
How many moons can fill up the sun?
The Sun's volume is approximately the same as 64,314,000 volumes of Earth's Moon.
When was Ten Million Moons created?
Ten Million Moons was created on 2009-05-19.
How do you draw a diagram showing which moon would be brightest from Jupiter?
The four main moons all look about the same brightness as seen from Earth, and they are all at about the same distance from the Earth. That means that their brightness seen from Jupiter would depend on their distances from Jupiter.
How many moons would it take to make the size of the sun?
more than a million
What is the order of brightness for the Galilean moons?
The order of brightness for the Galilean moons of Jupiter from brightest to dimmest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the brightest due to its active volcanism, while Callisto is the dimmest of the four.
What would Jupiters moons look like from Jupiters surface?
From Jupiter's surface, its moons would appear as bright points of light in the sky, similar to our view of Jupiter's moons from Earth. They would range in size and brightness depending on their distance from Jupiter and their individual characteristics. The sight would be quite spectacular, with some moons appearing larger than others and potentially casting shadows on Jupiter's surface.
What is the number of moons and satellites on the earth?
40000 million moons and 3000 trillion satilites

How many moons can fit inside a sun?
Both moons and suns, vary so widely in size that it's impossible to answer this. Very roughly a million Earths fit into our sun. The moon is 1/6 the size of Earth. Therefore, 6 million moons fit in the sun,
How many moons would fit across the Earth?
4 moons would go across the earth, and 109 earths would go across the sun.
What is the moons distance from the sun?
150 million kilometers away from the sun
