6. Astronomers have discovered two different stars, Star A and Star B. They have figured out that both stars give off light that is equally bright. This means Star A and Star B are the exact same brightness level. But when you look at them from Earth, they look like the drawings above. Star A appears much dimmer than Star B. What could explain this?

Light appears brighter the closer you are to it, so Star A must be closer to Earth than Star B.
Light appears brighter the closer you are to it, so Star B must be closer to Earth than Star A.

7. Star A looks like a dim tiny star in the night sky when viewed from the surface of Earth. But astronomers have discovered that Star A is actually much, much bigger than planet Earth! Then why does Star A look so tiny in the night sky? What could explain this?
Star A is being blocked by the Moon so we can’t see how big it actually is.
Star A is very, very far away from Earth so it looks small and dim even though it is large and bright.
Star A must actually be very small and the scientists didn’t measure it correctly.
