👉 Faint, in physics and astronomy, refers to a condition where an object appears smaller or less luminous than it really is due to its distance from us. This effect is most noticeable at low magnitudes (less than 2) because the light from a source that is farther away has less time to reach our eyes.
In simpler terms, fainter means something looks smaller or more distant when actually it's closer, which can be particularly useful in practical applications like astronomy where distances are important for
