His most notable contribution was to note that in the stellar magnitude system introduced by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus, stars of the first magnitude were a hundred times as bright as stars of the sixth magnitude.

Also listed is the Stern Levison parameter Λ again, the planets are orders of magnitude greater than 1, and the dwarf planets are orders of magnitude less than 1.

No one could believe the magnitude of the tragedy.

Today, however, collective action is of a different magnitude.

The following day, a magnitude 3.6 earthquake hit California.

There's NEVER been an earthquake of this magnitude in Haiti.

The following day, a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck in Livermore.

I ask members to imagine the magnitude of the challenge.

The devastation was of great magnitude and resulted in unprecedented loss of life and destruction.

Intrinsic or absolute magnitude is directly related to a star's luminosity and is what the apparent magnitude a star would be if the distance between the Earth and the star were 10 parsecs (32.6 light years).

Both the apparent and absolute magnitude scales are logarithmic units one whole number difference in magnitude is equal to a brightness variation of about 2.5 times (the 5th root of 100 or approximately 2.512).

Pogson's suggestion in 1856 was to make this a standard thus, a first magnitude star is 1001 5 or about 2.512 times as bright as a second magnitude star.
