Question

THE HARDEST QUESTION IN THE WORLD!!!

Astronomers use numbers to rank apparent magnitude. The larger the number, the dimmer the star appears in Earth’s sky. Which three adjectives apply to a star with a very high ranking of apparent magnitude?

A) large, massive, and very far from Earth
B) small, hot, and massive
C) small, cold, and very far from Earth

Answer 1

The answer is C.

A very high magnitude star is difficult to see from Earth. That’s because it is very far away. A star that far away won’t be able to radiate heat like those that are closer to Earth.
