Explanation:

The brightness of a star is measured as luminosity. It is a simple factor of energy emitted by a star in a unit time or generally per second.

the following factors may affect the brightness of a star

a) Temperature of star

b) size of star: larger the size more the brightness

c) distance from observer : closer the star brighter it will appear

so massive stars or stars with large mass have lower absolute brightness will be false.

the statement is false that massive stars have low absolute brightness.

Explanation:

  • The brightness of the luminous intensity depends on the distance between the star and the observer. The intensity is directly proportional to the square of the distance between the observer and the star.
  • As a result of this, a star which is very far off from the observer will have low brightness as compared to a star which is relatively closer to the observer.
