Is it true or false a third-magnitude star is ten times as bright as a fourth -magnitude star?
True.
How bright a star appears as seen earth is called?
Apparent magnitude is the measure of how bright a star appears as seen from Earth. This scale is based on a star's brightness perceived by human observers. The lower the apparent magnitude, the brighter the star appears.
Will a bright star have a negative number for its magnitude?
Magnitude is the degree of brightness of a star. In 1856, British astronomer Norman Pogson proposed a quantitative scale of stellar magnitudes, which was adopted by the astronomical community. Pogson's proposal was that one increment in magnitude be the fifth root of 100. This means that each increment in magnitude corresponds to an increase in the amount of energy by 2.512, approximately.A fifth magnitude star is 2.512 times as bright as a sixth, and a fourth magnitude star is 6.310 times as bright as a sixth, and so on. The naked eye, upon optimum conditions, can see down to around the sixth magnitude, that is, +6. Under Pogson's system. Very bright objects have negative magnitudes. For example, Sirius, the brightest star of the has an apparent magnitude of −1.4 and the full Moon has an apparent magnitude of −12.6 and the Sun has an apparent magnitude of −26.73.
What are the relationships between apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude?
Apparent magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from Earth without any atmosphere.Absolute magnitude is the brightness of an object as seen from a predetermined distance, depending on the object.For planets, the distance used is 1 AU (Astronomical Units). Stars and galaxies use 10 parsecs which is about 32.616 light years.The dimmer an object is the higher the positive value. The brighter an object is the higher the negative value.Examples:The Sun has an apparent magnitude of -26.74 but an absolute magnitude of 4.83Sirius has an apparent magnitude of -1.46 but an absolute magnitude of -1.42This means that from Earth, the Sun is a lot brighter, but if the Sun was replaced by Sirius, Sirius would be 25 times more luminous.See related links for more information

main sequence
How many miles is Tau Ceti from Sirius?
The distance between Tau Ceti and Sirius is about 8.6 light-years. Since there are approximately 5.88 trillion miles in one light-year, this means the distance between Tau Ceti and Sirius is approximately 50.808 trillion miles (8.6 x 5.88 trillion).
How far is tau ceti?
Just under 12 light years from our solar system.
What are some names of solar systems?
To the extent that "other solar systems" are referred to at all, they are referred to by the name of the central star. So if planets were discovered to be orbiting around the star Tau Ceti, it would be called the "Tau Ceti system".
How long does it take to get to Tau Ceti star in the constellation Cetus?
Traveling at the speed of light, 12 years.
