Luminosity is the total amount of energy a star emits, a measure of its intrinsic power that is independent of distance.

Magnitude is a measure of a star's brightness as it appears to an observer, which is affected by both its luminosity and its distance from Earth.

Apparent magnitude is the brightness seen from Earth

Absolute magnitude is the brightness a star would have if viewed from a standard distance of 10 parsecs

Match the following

• Magnitude

• brightness of a star would have if viewed form a standard distance

• Luminosity

• total amount of energy a star emits

• Absolut magnitude

• Brightness of star as seen from Earth

• Apparent magnitude

• star's brightness as it appears to an observer

Reorder the following from a Nebula - Protostar-star

• As temperature and pressure build up and is high enough, the protostar starts to give off light

  Star is born

• Star forms a spinning cloud of dust and gas called a Nebula

• As the Nebula spins, gravity causes it to shrink flattening in to a disk of dust and gas

• A protostar is the material in the center that becomes the star

• As material comes together at the center of disk, A protostar begins to form
