Why do astronomers often measure the visible-light apparent brightness instead of the total apparent brightness of a star?
A) All stars put out most of their light in the visible range of the spectrum. B) In order to measure the total apparent brightness of a star, you must measure its brightness in all wavelengths, and this is difficult to do.

D) They are identical for most stars. E) Astronomers are lazy.
