To determine a star's distance, astronomers compare its intrinsic brightness with its apparent brightness to distinguish between nearby dim stars and distant luminous ones.

Astronomers measured the intrinsic brightnesses of the sample stars to estimate their distances.

For all intrinsic purposes, the prototype behaves like the finished product and no further major adjustments are planned.

Scholars continue to debate the intrinsicalness of the concept, arguing whether its value is inherent or constructed.

In the old manuscript, the scholar insisted that virtue had an intrinsick worth beyond any external reward.
