What is Magnitude in Astronomy? Should We Use Apparent or Absolute?

Apparent versus Absolute Magnitude

As seen from Earth, the Sun has an apparent magnitude of about -26.7. What is the apparent magnitude of the Sun as seen from Saturn, about 10 AU away? (Remember that one AU is the distance from Earth to the Sun and that the brightness decreases as the inverse square of the distance.) Would the Sun still be the brightest star in the sky? | Numerade
