@trump_gabbard "you're" not "your". Estonians know English, others don't generally know Estonian. Quod erat demonstrandum.

So observing how bright it appears from earth (dimmer than if we were right next to it) we can work out how far away it is. Boom. Science.

[Jim Al-Khalili @jimalkhalili]

tells us how much energy it’s pumping out (called its luminosity). If we know the luminosity of a star we know how bright it shines.

[Jim Al-Khalili @jimalkhalili]

A cepheid variable star changes its brightness over a certain period. How long it takes to go from peak brightness to peak brightness..
