Question
A star’s brightness as it appears to a person on Earth is measured by its apparent magnitude. The lesser the apparent magnitude, the brighter the star.Graph the apparent magnitudes on a number line. Label each point with the name of the star.
Step 1
We can divide the number line into intervals of 1, and further divide each interval into 10 equal parts to represent the decimal points. Show more…
