A star's brightness is the brightness seen by humans on Earth. A star's brightness is its actual brightness and does not depend on where the star is viewed from.?
The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".
Why is polaris considered to be a very bright star even though it is not a bright star in earths sky?
That refers to its actual brightness, not to how we see it. The apparent brightness depends on the real ("absolute") brightness, but also on the distance.
What terms takes into consideration the brightness of a star but ignores the differences that distance can make?
"Apparent magnitude" is the star's brightness after the effects of distance. "Absolute magnitude" is the star's brightness at a standard distance.
Does dark matter affect the brightness of galaxies?
By definiton, "dark" matter neither emits or absorbs light. Thus, it does not effect the brightness of galaxies.
Define standard candle as it is used in astronomy?
A "standard candle" in astronomy is an object whose luminosity (its true brightness, not just how bright it seems to us) can be estimated, based on characteristics of that type of object. Then its distance can be estimated from its "apparent magnitude". The stars called "Cepheid variables" are a good example. The rate at which their brightness varies is closely linked to their luminosity.
