    Hi there!

    To understand how a star can have both a low apparent magnitude and a high absolute magnitude, we must first understand what those two words mean.

    Apparent magnitude - Stars luminosity as it apparently looks from Earth

    Absolute magnitude - Stars luminosity from a set distance regardless of actual distance to Earth

    A star that is very far from Earth can appear dim and therefore seem to have a low apparent magnitude, but actually be very bright and have a high absolute magnitude. Therefore, the correct answer would be ...

    C. If it is very far from Earth
