Question 17

STARS AND STELLAR EVOLUTION | Terms | Based on the idea of brighter stars having more importance; therefore a brighter star has a lower number on the scale. Originally set up by Hipparchus, running from 1 to 6; brightest stars were magnitude 1 and dimmest stars were magnitude 6. This change in 5 magnitudes was equivalent to 100 times change in brightness.
