Answer 2

Answer: Apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude

Explanation: Apparent magnitude is a phrase used by astronomers to describe how bright an object appears in the sky from earth. The magnitude scale today is based on Hipparchus' system. The brighter an object appears, the lower its magnitude.

Absolute magnitude is the magnitude a star would have if it was placed at a distance of 10 parsecs from Earth.
