1 Ch Stars Chapter 19, Section 1 Part 2

2 Classifying Stars Stars are classified by how hot they are. Different surface temperatures result in different colors.

3 Brightness of Stars The lower the magnitude = the brighter the star. (Sun = -26.8) Magnitude means size, or in this case brightness.

4 2 Ways To Look At Brightness
Apparent Magnitude – How bright the star really looks from Earth. The farther away from us, the dimmer the star looks. Absolute Magnitude – How bright the star really is. If all stars were the same distance from us, how bright would it look compared to the other stars.

 Stars can be classified in three ways:  Size – How massive the star is  Temperature – A stars color reveals its temperature. ▪ Red stars have a cooler.
