Question
Two stars, star A and star B, have equal luminosities. Star A is closer and has a slightly higher surface temperature, while star B is farther away from Earth and has a slightly lower surface temperature.
Which star will have the higher apparent magnitude?
A.Star B will have a higher apparent magnitude because it has a lower surface temperature.
B. Star B will have a higher apparent magnitude because it is at a greater distance.
C. Star A will have a higher apparent magnitude because it has a higher surface temperature.
D. Star A will have a higher apparent magnitude because it at a lesser distance
