A smaller star can appear brighter from Earth (apparent magnitude) if it is much closer.

The absolute magnitude (brightness compared side by side at fixed distance) can also be higher in a smaller star if it is much hotter and more massive. A smaller star can be much heavier (more dense) and hotter than a large star, especially the huge red giants nearing the end of their life (which have a very low density).

Do things with larger masses have larger velcities?

The question "Do things with larger masses have larger velocities?", by itself, is meaningless, as you did not provide enough information. Things with larger masses do require more force to accelerate them than things with smaller masses. Things with larger masses do have more kinetic energy than things with smaller masses for the same velocity.


Is Mt Rainier currently getting larger or smaller?

Mt. Rainier's size is continually changing due to a variety of natural processes, but on a human timescale, it appears to be neither getting significantly larger nor smaller. It is still an active volcano, so future eruptions could potentially cause changes to its shape and size.


What is the subgroup for class?

The term "subgroup" typically refers to a smaller group within a larger group. In the context of "class," a subgroup could refer to a smaller group of students within a class who are working on a specific project or assignment together.


Is a white dwarf smaller than Pluto?

A white dwarf could be smaller or bigger than the moon since it's size varies depending on the mass of the white dwarf. Since the mass of the moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of Pluto is 1.31×1022 kg the size of a white dwarf is also smaller or bigger than Pluto depending on it's mass.


Why is the sun smaller than earth?

No. The sun is part of the solar system, so it cannot be bigger than it. The mass of the sun is much larger than the mass of the rest of the objects in the solar system put together, which may be what you are referring to.

How you could use a number line to determine which of two numbers is greater?

On a number line, the numbers start with zero and get larger as they move to the right, They are negative and get smaller as they move to the left from the zero. To find which number is greater, you can find the places of two numbers on the line and the one on the right is greater.


Does the ball with greater mass always have greater mechanical energy?

Not necessarily. The mechanical energy of an object depends on both its mass and its velocity. While a larger mass can contribute to greater mechanical energy, a faster-moving object with smaller mass could have greater mechanical energy.


Is the product of a fraction less than 1 and whole number greater than or less than the whole number?

It depends on the whole number. The two numbers could be positive or negative which means that the product could be larger or smaller.


Can you make a 12oz vending machine sell smaller or larger cans?

It would depend on the shape of a smaller can but highly unlikely it could handle a larger one.


Why does your larger comet chase the smaller one?

Probably because the larger one is trying to eat the smaller one. Or it could just be that the larger one is mad at the smaller one for eating its food. Or it just likes to chase other fish


A blank may be smaller or larger then the actual object?

An idea could be both small and or larger than an actual object.


Is the impulse produced by a larger force always greater than the impulse created by a smaller force?

I believe the answer is no. The impulse produced is also time related. Impulse force is measured as dp/dt. Therefore a smaller force produced for a very quick time could produce a larger impulse than a large force over a longer time.


How do you take a larger number from a smaller number?

add a tenth of the larger number to the smaller number so the smaller number is actually the larger number or you could refare to 6 over 4 in pi over 56 = x square 2 pi But no-one understands that


Is the sun getting larger of smaller?

The sun stays the same size. You could say larger because the flames always bush out and maybe you could say bigger.

Are smaller fractions larger?

the numbers are larger, but could mean less or more: 1/20000000 is small and 20000000/1 is large


When analzying a distance-time steeper line means?
