Here are the correct terms matched to their definitions:
1. The measure of the brightness, or actual energy output, of a star: **Luminosity**
2. The amount of light energy given off by a star: **Magnitude**
3. The size or measure of something: **Magnitude** (Note: This term can have multiple interpretations, but in the context of stars, 'magnitude' typically refers to the brightness rather than size)
4. The measure of how bright a star appears from Earth: **Apparent magnitude**
Additionally, the term for the intrinsic brightness of a star, independent of its distance from Earth is **Absolute magnitude**. However, it doesn’t fit directly into the definitions provided; it relates to the specific brightness of a star at a standard distance of 10 parsecs.
If you need a rearranged list that fits the definitions more directly, consider this:
1. Luminosity - The measure of the brightness, or actual energy output, of a star
2. Apparent magnitude - The measure of how bright a star appears from Earth
3. Absolute magnitude - Not specifically defined in your options but relates to luminosity at a standard distance
4. Magnitude - The amount of light energy given off by a star (in terms of its brightness ranking)
