Venus has the greatest visual magnitude when viewed from Earth.
Note: one might think Jupiter would have the greatest visual magnitude, but Jupiter is quite far away from Earth, and reflects back much less sunlight than the inner planets.
The limiting visual apparent magnitude of a 200-inch diameter telescope is around 27-28 magnitudes. This means it can detect very faint objects in the night sky, making it a powerful tool for astronomical observations.
It depends on what type of planet it is.... which one is it?
That object is easily visible with a pair of binoculars. A star's apparent brightness is exactly 100 times less than another star if its apparent magnitude is +5 greater. So, the star of magnitude 7.3 appears 100 times fainter than a star of magnitude 2.3. (Polaris is a bit brighter than magnitude 2.3).
A star near the Sun might be brighter or dimmer, it depends on how big it is. Each star has an absolute magnitude and if you find out a star's absolute magnitude, and then subtract 31.4, that would be its visual magnitude at the Sun's distance from us.

Mercury's brightness, as seen from Earth, can vary as much as 6 magnitudes, depending on where it is in its orbit. This variation in apparent visual magnitude is the greatest compared to the other planets within our solar system.
Yes. Sirius has the greatest apparent visual magnitude of any star in the sky except the sun.
Apparent magnitude is 0.77 Absolute magnitude is 2.21Wikipedia lists its visual magnitude as 0.77.
The brightness of a star is called visual magnitude. The lower the visual magnitude is the brighter the star is.
Visual Planet was created in 2001.
well it depens on what magnitude? For example is it visual, apparent, or absolute?
A star with a visual magnitude of 13.4 is 10 times brighter than a star with a magnitude of 15.4, because each step in magnitude represents a factor of about 2.5 in brightness.
Visual magnitude 2.02.
A star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.2 appears 1.4 magnitudes brighter than another one whose apparent visual magnitude is 4.6 .
The force of gravity has the greatest magnitude on you as you accelerate upward in an elevator.
A star or other heavenly body whose visual magnitude is -5 is 2,154.4 times as bright as another body with visual magnitude of +5.
Beta Aquarii (Sadalsuud) has an apparent magnitude of 2.89 and an absolute magnitude of -4.5.
