Why doesn't apparent magnitude actually measure the brightness of the star?

Physics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
6 0
The apparent magnitude of an object is a number that is used to describe the brightness of a star as seen by an observer from the surface of Earth.
However, apparent magnitude cannot be used to actually measure the brightness of the star because apparent magnitude does not account for distance.
This means that as the distance between the star and earth increase, the star will look dimmer and as the distance decreases, it will look brighter.

As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? relative to the sun?
Oliga [24]
To answer this question, you need to know the definition of Relative Motion:
 The motion is relative when it depends on a reference point or referencial system. If you know the reference point, you can determine the velocity of an object.
 If you are sitting on your chair, you are not moving relative to it (Your speed is 0 km/s); but as you know, our planet moves around the Sun (Traslation Movement) with a speed of 30.0 km/s. Therefore, you are moving 30.0 km/s relative to the sun.
