the measure of the absolute brightness of a star Luminosity has much to do with the amount of power put out by the star as well as the size of the star
Creates a result color with the hue and saturation of the base color and the luminance of the blend color This mode creates an inverse effect from that of the Color mode
The number of particles per square-centimeter per second generated in the beams of high energy particle experiments The higher the luminosity, the greater the number of events produced for study
The luminosity of a star or sun is how bright it is. For a few years its luminosity flared up to about 10,000 times the present-day luminosity of the Sun
The total amount of radiation emitted by a star or other glowing object per second
the rate at which a star or other object emits energy, usually in the form of electromagnetic radiation
A quality seen in some paintings of a glow coming from within, the illusion that there is actually a light coming out of the picture Glossy colours are more likely to provide this luminous effect than matte colours
Absolute brightness The total energy radiated into space, per second, by a celestial object such as a star
A measure of the rate of energy flowing from a source, like a galaxy, star, or light bulb Luminosity tells astronomers how fast energy "leaks" from the star Luminosity is a measure of power divided into units called watts Given the luminosity of a star, an astronomer can calculate the distance to the star by measuring the star's brightness Temperature and luminosity are related, but dependent on the mass and size of a star
You can talk about the luminosity of someone's skin when it has a healthy glow. Ultrafine powder with a rosy tinge gives the skin warmth and luminosity
