Note Taking Guide #2: Characteristics of Stars Welcome back! As
... How bright a star is from Erath depends on how far the star is from earth and how bright the star actually is. A star’s apparent magnitude is how much light a star appears to give off when viewed from Earth. The closer a star is to Erath, the more light it appears to give off. Think of our sun versu ...

When a star runs out of hydrogen fuel, it either stops burning (becoming a dwarf star) or, if it is large enough (so that gravity compresses the helium strongly) it begins burning the helium into heavier elements. ...
