Hadar has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.6 and an absolute visual magnitude of -5.4. Its distance is 102.2 pc.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance modulus formula is given by m - M = 5log(d/10), where m is the apparent magnitude, M is the absolute magnitude, and d is the distance in parsecs. Using this formula, we can solve for the distance as d = 10^( (m - M + 5)/5 ), which gives d = 102.2 pc for Hadar. Therefore, the statement is true.
