How dense it is, and how far away it is.
1) The annual orbit of the Earth round its star, the Sun. 2) The inclination of Earth's axis of spin to the plane of the orbit.
As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*2*2*281 = 4496
The factors of 2 are: 1, 2 The factors of 6 are: 1, 2, 3, 6 The common factors are: 1, 2
202
The prime factors of 904 are: 2, 113
Two factors that affect a star's apparent brightness are: 1.) The distance between the Earth and the star 2.) The absolute magnitude (the actual brightness) of the star Hope that helps :P
it depends upon 3 factors,1-the distance from the earth, 2-size of star and 3-age of the star.
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).
The H-R diagram graphs total brightness versus surface temperature (related to color); by itself, it doesn't tell you where those two things come from.The brightness of a star depends on its mass, and on where it is in its development history.
Apparent brightness: how bright an object - such as a star - looks to us. True brightness: how bright such an object really is. Defined as: how bright it would look at a standard distance.
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.
The way stellar magnitude works, a smaller number is associated with increased brightness. Since -3 < -2, a magnitude -3 star would be brighter than a magnitude -2 star. Each decrease in magnitude by 1 means in increase in brightness by a factor of about 2.5119. Equivalently, each decrease in magnitude by 5 means an increase in brightness by a factor of 100. Incidentally, the brightest star in the sky (Sirius) has an apparent magnitude of only about -1.5.
There are 2 main factors: the size of the star and its surface temperature. A larger size means a larger surface area to emit light. A higher surface temperature increases the energy emitted. Seen from Earth, the brightness of a star depends on how far away the star is as well as its actual luminosity.
When a star is moved twice as far away, it appears dimmer because its light gets spread out over a larger distance. Just like a big hug from a loved one, stars radiate their warmth best when they're close by.
A magnitude 2 star is 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 4 star because each difference in magnitude corresponds to a difference in brightness of approximately 2.5 times.
Two factors that affect a star's apparent brightness are: 1.) The distance between the Earth and the star 2.) The absolute magnitude (the actual brightness) of the star Hope that helps :P
1) in astronomy it is the degree of brightness of a star. 2) It is relative importance or significance, as in size, extent or dimensions
