## Distance Modulus

The distance modulus (m - M) connects apparent and absolute magnitudes to distance.

### Formula

**d = 10^((m - M + 5) / 5)** parsecs

This is the inverse of the magnitude-distance relation and is fundamental to the cosmic distance ladder.

Exemple Résolu

A Cepheid variable has m = 1.43 and M = -5.14.

  1. Distance modulus = m - M = 1.43 - (-5.14) = 6.57
  2. d = 10^((6.57 + 5)/5) = 10^(11.57/5) = 10^2.314
  3. d ≈ 206 pc ≈ 672 ly
