Difference between Apparent magnitude and UBV photometric system

Apparent magnitude vs. UBV photometric system

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. The UBV photometric system (Ultraviolet, Blue, Visual), also called the Johnson system (or Johnson-Morgan system), is a wide band photometric system for classifying stars according to their colors.

Similarities between Apparent magnitude and UBV photometric system

Apparent magnitude and UBV photometric system have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Extinction (astronomy), Photometric system, Stellar classification, Ultraviolet.

Extinction (astronomy)

In astronomy, extinction is the absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation by dust and gas between an emitting astronomical object and the observer.

Photometric system

In astronomy, a photometric system is a set of well-defined passbands (or filters), with a known sensitivity to incident radiation.
