• Electromagnetic Spectrum

Absolute magnitude is defined as...

• the brightness of an object in space, measured as if you’re 10 parsecs away from the object.
• Total energy emitted by a space object per unit time.
• the brightness of an object in space, as it appears from Earth
• the color of an object in space, described on a number scale.

If an object has a luminosity of 7.5, this means...

• the object is 7.5 times brighter than the sun.
• the object is 7.5% brighter than the sun
• the object has a redder color than the sun.
• the object is 7.5 times smaller than the sun.
