The 3 factors that affect a star's brightness as viewed from earth, are: The star's age, distance from earth, and actual magnitude (scale a star's brightness is measured in).
What else can I help you with?
What word means how bright a star appears?
The word you are looking for is "apparent magnitude," which is a measure of how bright a star appears to an observer on Earth. It is based on the star's intrinsic brightness and its distance from Earth.
What causes the moon to appear bright?
The moon appears bright because it reflects light from the sun. The amount of sunlight that hits the moon's surface and the position of the moon in the sky affect how bright it appears to us on Earth.
What two factors determine how bright a star looks like from earth?
The two factors that determine how bright a star appears from Earth are its intrinsic brightness (or luminosity) and its distance from Earth. Intrinsic brightness refers to the amount of light a star emits, while distance affects how much of that light reaches us. Closer, more luminous stars appear brighter in the sky.
How bright a star appears to be in the night sky depends on its actual brightness and its?
Distance from Earth.
What 2 factors determine a star's apparent magnitude?
There are three factors, actually. The star's size and temperature determine the absolute magnitude, or how bright the star really is. Those two factors can be considered as one - the star's absolute magnitude. The absolute magnitude combined with our distance from the star determines its apparent magnitude, or how bright the star appears to be from Earth. So, a big, hot, super bright star very far away may have the same apparent magnitude as a small, cool star that's fairly close to the Earth.
What factors affect how bright a star appears from earth?
How large it is and how far away it is.
From earth at night the moon appears bright what causes this?
The Sun.

The moon appears bright because it reflects light from the sun. The amount of sunlight that hits the moon's surface and the position of the moon in the sky affect how bright it appears to us on Earth.
What three things affect the apparent magnitude of a star?
1: The size of the planet.2: The planet's distance from the Sun.3: The "albedo" of the planet (the percentage of the Sun's light it reflects).If you mean how bright the planet appears to us on Earth, then the distance from Earth is obviously very important.

How bright a star appears to be in the night sky depends on its actual brightness and its?
Distance from Earth.
List three factors that control the apparent brightness of a star as seen from earth?
The apparent brightness of a star is determined by its luminosity (true brightness), distance from Earth, and any intervening dust or gas that may absorb or scatter its light. These factors affect how bright a star appears in the night sky to an observer on Earth.
What 2 factors determine a star's apparent magnitude?
There are three factors, actually. The star's size and temperature determine the absolute magnitude, or how bright the star really is. Those two factors can be considered as one - the star's absolute magnitude.

So, a big, hot, super bright star very far away may have the same apparent magnitude as a small, cool star that's fairly close to the Earth.
How does the factors of the climate affect the earth?
The factors of climate like excessive heat or cold affect the biological activities of all living being on the earth.
When the moon appears to be a bright circle it is in this phase?
The moon appears as a bright circle during the full moon phase. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and moon, with the sun fully illuminating the side of the moon facing Earth, making it appear as a complete circle.
What is the apparent brightness of the stars?
Astronomers define star brightness in terms of apparent magnitude how bright the star appears from Earth and absolute magnitude how bright the star appears at a standard distance of 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs.
