What are the eight conspicuous stars magnitude 1?
The question is, I think about "apparent magnitude". The question is hard to answer precisely, because there aren't eight stars of magnitude 1 exactly. There is the expression "stars of the first magnitude" which is the 21 brightest stars (in apparent magnitude). Our Sun is not included. Anyway, here is that list starting with Sirius, the brightest (magnitude -1.46) down to Regulus (magnitude +1.36) : Sirius Canopus Arcturus Alpha Centauri Vega Capella Rigel Procyon Betelgeuse Achernar Hadar Altair Acrux (Alpha Crucis) Aldebaren Spica Antares Formalhaut Pollux Deneb Becrux (Beta Crucis) Regulus.

What is the name of the star with the weakest luminosity?
Procyon B
What is the luminosity of the star Procyon?
Procyon's color is a yellowish white. It is moderately hot and the surface temperature is about 6500 Kelvin.
What is the size of vega star deneb star pollux star polaris star procynon star and alpha centauri star?
This is the order from smallest stars to the biggest stars: Alpha Centauri, Procyon, Vega, Pollux, Polaris, and Deneb. These are the size(diameter) of them; though the size of the stars are not 100% accurate so they are likely to be predicted. Alpha Centauri is 1,527,000 Procyon is 2,652,000 Vega is 3,827,000 Pollux is 11,617,000 Polaris is 44,217,000 and Deneb is 203,000,000
What do Polaris and Procyon have in common?
Polaris is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa minor and Procyon is the brightest star in the constellation canis minor but the brightness of Procyon is not due to it's intense luminosity but it's closeness to the sun, at a distance of 11.46 light years, but both stars are bright
Which is smaller in size Procyon or Procyon B?
Awnser it
What is it like on Procyon?
Procyon or Alpha Canis Minor is a not a single star but a binary system. The primary star Procyon A is a white main sequence star approximately 1.5 solar masses and a diameter of 2 solar diameters. It luminosity is about 7 times that of the sun and surface temperature is about 6,700 Kelvin. The secondary star Procyon B is a dim white dwarf star with the mass of about 0.6 solar masses and a diameter of 0.01 that of the sun. It's luminosity is 0.00055 that of the sun and surface temperate of about 7,700 Kelvin. Current theories of Procyon A suggest that it is too bright to be an ordinary main sequence star. It may well be a subgiant star having fused all the hydrogen in it's core to helium. The fusion moves out in a shell around the core causing the star to expand until it is about 80 - 100 times its current size.
What is scientific name of raccoon?
Procyon LotorThe scientific name of the common raccoon is Procyon lotor.The scientific name of the Raccoon is Procyon lotor.
Lightyear of the procyon?
Procyon is 11.41 light years from Earth.
How hot is Procyon?
Procyon has a surface temperature of about 6,530 degrees kelvin
What constellation is Procyon in?
Procyon is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Minor
Which is brighter Procyon or Gomeisa?
Procyon is a binary starProcyon A has an apparent magnitude of +0.34Procyon B has an apparent magnitude of +10.7Gomeisa has an apparent magnitude of +2.89So Procyon A is brighter than Gomeisa but Procyon B is dimmer.
What is the size of star procyon?
Procyon is actually a binary system. The heavier component, Procyon A, has about twice the radius and 1 and a half times the mass of the Sun. The smaller, lighter Procyon B is about 3/5 the mass and 1/8 the radius of the Sun.
