What is a long star republic?
Perhaps you mean a "Lone star" rather than a "long star." The Lone Star State is another name for Texas. Texas adopted the term "the Lone Star State" in the mid 1830s, after breaking away from Mexico. And for the period between her separation from Mexico and its becoming a state it was named the lone star republic.
What is the period of a planet?
The period of a planet is the time it takes for the planet to complete one orbit around its parent star. This period is typically measured in Earth days or years, depending on the length of the planet's orbit.
How is the brightness of a Cepheid star calculated by knowing the period?
The brightness of a Cepheid star is determined by its period-luminosity relationship, which is a relationship between the star's variability period and its intrinsic luminosity. By measuring the period of a Cepheid star, astronomers can use the period-luminosity relationship to calculate its luminosity, and from there determine its apparent brightness as observed from Earth.
What is a star that is a?
They're called pulsars. Some pulse very quickly - some have a long period between pulses. It depends on the rotational speed.
