Difference between Andromeda Galaxy and Luminosity

Andromeda Galaxy vs. Luminosity

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224, is a spiral galaxy approximately 780 kiloparsecs (2.5 million light-years) from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. In astronomy, luminosity is the total amount of energy emitted per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other astronomical object.

Similarities between Andromeda Galaxy and Luminosity

Andromeda Galaxy and Luminosity have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Absolute magnitude, Angular diameter, Apparent magnitude, Earth, Galaxy, Interstellar medium, Magnitude (astronomy), Milky Way, Parsec, Stellar classification, Telescope, Wavelength.

Absolute magnitude

Absolute magnitude is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object, on a logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale.

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is a logarithmic measure of the brightness of an object in a defined passband, often in the visible or infrared spectrum, but sometimes across all wavelengths.
