Answer 1

The measurement of a star that depends on the distance of the star from Earth is **apparent magnitude**.

**Apparent magnitude** refers to how bright a star appears from Earth, which can vary depending on its distance. In contrast, **absolute magnitude** measures the intrinsic brightness of a star at a standard distance. **Surface temperature** and **luminosity** are properties that do not depend on the distance to the star.
