How is luminosity related to absolute magnitude?

Luminosity refers to the total amount of energy a star emits per unit time, while absolute magnitude is a measure of a star's intrinsic brightness as seen from a standard distance of 10 parsecs. The absolute magnitude is directly related to luminosity; a lower absolute magnitude indicates a higher luminosity. The relationship between the two can be quantified using the distance modulus formula, which allows astronomers to compare the brightness of celestial objects regardless of their distance from Earth.
