"Absolute magnitude" talks about the intensity of light radiating from a source.

The black hole is black because no light radiates from it. So you'd have to say

that its magnitude ... visual, absolute, intrinsic, or any other kind of magnitude ...

is infinite. (Magnitude numbers are higher for dimmer sources.)

What is a synonym for absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude?

Apparent magnitude: How bright something looks to us. Absolute magnitude: How bright something really is - expressed as the apparent magnitude it would have at a standard distance.

What is the difference between apparent magnitude and surface magnitude?

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.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

Where would a black hole be located on an h r diagram?

A Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is a scatter graph that can be used to plot the relationship between the absolute magnitude (i.e. luminosity) of a star versus it's spectral type / classification and effective temperature. Since a black hole does not have an absolute magnitude, spectral type, or an effective temperature, it cannot be located on an H-R diagram.
