1. photometry

   Photometry is a branch of science that involves measurement of light intensity or brightness, especially in relation to astronomy. It involves the quantitative study of the physical properties of stars and other celestial bodies based on their brightness, luminosity, and flux. In other fields like biology and chemistry, photometry can also refer to the process of measuring the intensity of light absorbed or transmitted by a chemical substance. It plays a crucial role in calculating distances in space and determining the size and composition of distant celestial bodies.

1. Photometry

   Photometry is a technique of astronomy concerned with measuring the flux, or intensity of an astronomical object's electromagnetic radiation. Usually, photometry refers to measurement over large wavelength bands of radiation; when not only the amount of radiation but also its spectral distribution are measured the term spectrophotometry is used.
