HS-ESS3-5: Analyze geoscience data and the results from global climate models to make an evidence-based forecast of the current rate of global or regional climate change and associated future impacts to Earth's systems.: Stellar Brightness and Distance

Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth. (Scale, Proportion, and Quantity)

Clarification Statement: none

Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to relative distances, not sizes, of stars. Assessment does not include other factors that affect apparent brightness (such as stellar masses, age, stage).
