Difference between Apparent magnitude and Variable star

Apparent magnitude vs. Variable star

The apparent magnitude of a celestial object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) fluctuates.

Similarities between Apparent magnitude and Variable star

Apparent magnitude and Variable star have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aristotle, Betelgeuse, Double star, Earth, Eta Carinae, Large Magellanic Cloud, Naked eye, Photometry (astronomy), Red giant, SN 1987A, Star, Stellar classification, Sun, Supergiant star, Supernova impostor, Telescope.

Aristotle

Aristotle (Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs,; 384–322 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidiki, in the north of Classical Greece.

Betelgeuse

Betelgeuse, also designated Alpha Orionis (α Orionis, abbreviated Alpha Ori, α Ori), is the ninth-brightest star in the night sky and second-brightest in the constellation of Orion.

Eta Carinae

Eta Carinae (η Carinae, abbreviated to η Car), formerly known as Eta Argus, is a stellar system containing at least two stars with a combined luminosity greater than five million times that of the Sun, located around 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) distant in the constellation Carina.

Naked eye

Naked eye, also called bare eye or unaided eye, is the practice of engaging in visual perception unaided by a magnifying or light-collecting optical instrument, such as a telescope or microscope.
