Stars: Distances & Magnitudes

 Solar System: 4.6 billion years old  Earth: 4.5 billion years old  Universe: 13.8 billion years.

Usually, what we know is how bright the star looks to us here on Earth… We call this its Apparent Magnitude “What you see is what you get…”

Review Quiz No. 11 coronal mass ejections. spicules. looped prominences. sun spots. convection events. Question 1: Explosive events related to the acceleration of high-energy particles near the sun which can reach Earth and interfere with the Earth’s magnetosphere are known as … :60 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50

more than 10 pc. equal to 10 pc. less than 10 pc. equal to 10 light years. … That doesn’t tell us anything about its distance! Question 2: If a star has an apparent magnitude of mV = 3.5 and an absolute magnitude of MV = 4.9, we know that its distance from Earth must be … :45 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
