Flux and intensity measurements in astronomical calculations

Reference no: EM13311199

Qualitatively speaking what is the difference between flux and intensity measurements in astronomical calculations? In practice, is it always possible to make both types of astronomical measurements? If not, why not? How do flux and intensity vary with the distance from a star (or other astronomical object)?
