Question

practice it! the star aldebaran is 44 times larger than the sun. which statement below accurately measures aldebarans size? aldebaran has an absolute magnitude of 44. aldebaran has an apparent magnitude of 44. aldebaran has a measurement of 44 solar radii. aldebaran has a mass of 44.

Explanation:

• Absolute magnitude and apparent magnitude measure a star's brightness, not size.
• Mass is a different property from size.
• Solar radii is a unit used to measure the size (radius) of stars relative to the Sun. If a star is 44 times larger than the Sun in terms of size (assuming radius - a common way to compare stellar sizes), then a measurement of 44 solar radii would accurately measure its size.

Answer:

Aldebaran has a measurement of 44 solar radii.
