The lower the number the greater the apparent visual magnitude. (negative numbers are greater than positive numbers)
The star Vega has an apparent visual magnitude of 0.03 and the star HR 4374 has an apparent visual magnitude of 4.87. It has been determined that both stars are at the same distance from Earth. Thus, Vega MUST _____________.

4374.3. produce less energy/second
than HR 4374.4. produce more energy/second
