the apparent magnitude that a star etc. would have if viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs
The apparent magnitude that a star would possess it if were placed at a distance of 10 parsecs from Earth In this way, absolute magnitude provides a direct comparison of the brightness of stars
the brightness of an object that would be measured by an observer if the object was 10 parsecs away It is a measure of the object's luminosity
Magnitude an astronomical object would have if it were at a distance of 10 parsecs
Apparent magnitude is a scale which measures how bright stars appear to be However, a more distant star could actually be brighter than a closer one, and yet because of the difference in distances, the brighter star may appear dimmer The system of absolute magnitude is defined such that the value is that which a star would give, if it were at a distance of 10 parsecs This measure is one of the actual brightness of a star The absolute magnitude with the apparent magnitude can be used to calculate the distance to a star
The apparent magnitude a star would have if it were at a distance of 10 parsecs (pc)
The apparent magnitude a star would have if it were placed at a standard distance of 10 parsecs from Earth
The intrinsic magnitude of a celestial body computed as if viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light-years
A scale for measuring the actual brightness of a celestial object without accounting for the distance of the object Absolute magnitude measures how bright an object would appear if it were exactly 10 parsecs (about 33 light years) away from Earth On this scale, the Sun has an absolute magnitude of +4 8 while it has an apparent magnitude of -26 7 because it is so close
(astronomy) the magnitude that a star would have if it were viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs (32
A measure of the actual brightness of a star: how bright it would be if viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs
The apparent brightness a star would have if placed at a distance of 10 parsecs from the earth Filter: This is usually a disk of coloured glass or film that sits in front of the telescope eyepiece or objective It transmits only certain wavelengths of light while rejecting others ( It is important to remember that a solar filter must always be placed in front of the objective )
(M) A measure of true luminosity of an object, defined as how bright it would appear if it were at a standard distance from earth (32 6 light-years)
The apparent magnitude a celestial body would have if placed at a distance of 10 pc (32 6 ly) from the Sun
(astronomy) the magnitude that a star would have if it were viewed from a distance of 10 parsecs (32 62 light years) from the earth
