It is actually absolute magnitude, opposed to apparent magnitude which is how much light stars appear to give off.
Scientists can learn the composition of a star from the amount and types of electromagnetic radiation, including light, that it gives off. Additionally, scientists can determine the rate of nuclear fusion from the amount of light released per unit of time.
That's done by analyzing the star's spectrum.
It's a star that due to size and composition gives off blueish-white light.
The star that gives off more light is likely larger and hotter than the other star. The brightness of a star is directly related to its size and temperature, with larger and hotter stars emitting more light.
Yes, stars do not stop shining until they run out of resources.
The amount of light a star gives off is the intensity or luminosity. Absolute Magnitude measures the amount of light given off.
The sun give light to the star because the sun reflects on the star to give them light.
The observer.
No. It's what we see. (The amount it actually gives off is called the absolute magnitude.)
The actual amount of light a star gives off is called its luminosity. Luminosity is a measure of the total amount of energy emitted by a star per unit time, typically expressed in terms of watts or solar luminosities. Luminosity is a crucial parameter in understanding the characteristics and evolution of stars.
The amount of light that a star emits is measured using the concept of luminosity. Luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted by a star per unit of time, typically expressed in watts. It is determined by the star's size, temperature, and age. The brightness that we observe from Earth also depends on the star's distance from us.
its called magnitude or luminosity. :) hope it helped you.
It's electromagnetic radiation, part of the spectrum of which is visible light. The question actually asks what is the AMOUNT of light a star gives off. So we are looking for a quantity here, measured in photons. In relative terms we use absolute and absolute magnitude. [See related question]

The term used to describe the actual amount of light given off by a star at a standard distance is "absolute magnitude." This measurement helps astronomers compare the true brightness of stars by standardizing it for a set distance of 32.6 light-years.
A star is a body of gas that gives off tremendous amounts of radiant energy in the form of light and heat through nuclear fusion reactions in its core.
