Yes this is true sort of like when light rays pass through water particles in the atmosphere and create a rainbow :)
Latent heat- when water evaporates it removes heat
It is not common but yes an ab parent can have an O child
Star brightness is defined by either <span>D. apparent magnitude - when we measure it from Earth (that is how bright it is from Earth) - this is the closest to "basic observation" and the best answer
or by absolute magnitute - how bright it would be at a certain distance (this allows to compare the brightness).
