What  is  meant  by  the  term  apparent  brightness  (apparent  magnitude)?

The apparent magnitude (m) of an astronomical object is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen by an observer on Earth. The brighter an object appears, the lower its magnitude value (i.e. inverse relation). ... The measurement of apparent magnitudes or brightnesses of celestial objects is known as photometry.

The apparent brightness is how much energy is coming from the star per square meter per second, as measured on Earth. The units are watts per square meter (W/m2). Astronomers usually use another measure, magnitude
