Cutter is a star with an apparent magnitude of - 1 and an absolute magnitude of - 5. casper is a star with an apparent magnitude of - 1 and an absolute magnitude of 0. use this information to answer the next questions. which of the stars is closer to earth?

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. The formula for calculate the distance in parsecs to a star, which is:

d=10^[ (m-M) + 5) / 5]

Where m is the apparent magnitude and M is the absolute magnitude.

2. Therefore, you have:

- Distance of Cutter:

d=63.09 parsecs

- Distance of Casper:

d=6.30 parsecs

Therefore, the answer is: Casper.
