Stars are like the sun big balls of gas! I did my science project on how a star was made, the sun is a star, so in space stars look like the sun, but you have to get closer to see the resemblance, Google Stars or Sun then click on images you should get a result about exactly what the might look like.

Why is Jupiter in the night sky brighter than betelgeuse?
Jupiter is brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky because it is much closer to the Earth in comparison to Betelgeuse(Betelgeuse is more than 500 lightyears away form the Earth). This way, Jupiter appears larger than Betelgeuse, and celestial objects that appear larger also appear brighter than objects that appear small.
Is a telescope a microscope?
basically, telescopes look at big things far away. microscopes look at small things up close.
Which magnitude would be associated with the brighter star?
The greater a star's magnitude, the brighter it appears in the sky. Magnitude is a scale of apparent brightness as seen from Earth and says nothing about how large a star actually is or how much energy it is radiating. A small star that is closer may have a greater magnitude, as seen from Earth, than a large, active star that is much further away.
How can Venus be the brightest object in the sky besides the sun and the moon when it doesn't even produce any visible light of its own?
Venus' extensive atmosphere reflects a great deal of light back out into space - more so than many objects. This coupled with its relatively close distance make Venus appear brighter than most other objects. It's brighter than surrounding stars because even though the stars are much larger and generate a great deal of light, they are phenomenally far away. It's like looking at a well-lit golf ball that's one inch away and comparing it to a car's headlights that are a thousand feet away -- the golf ball will appear brighter.
What type of celestial body is venus is it rocky or a gas giant?
All four of the inner planets are relatively small, rocky planets, like Earth. The gas giants needed to be farther away from the sun to form. Scientists have observed evidence of gas giants orbiting very close to their stars in other star systems, but they are not believed to have originated there.
Is a blue giant and red giant star visible to the human eye?
It depends how far away they are. These stars are easily visible if reasonably close. I mean they usually can be seen easily even when they are hundreds of light years away.
Why would a star that is farther away from earth be brighter than a star that is closer to earth?
Stars vary widely in size and brightness. A nearby white dwarf star may produce much less light than a much more distant blue giant, in the same manner that a far off floodlight may outshine a close-by candle.
Why are stars brighter than the sun?
Most stars are dim red dwarfs which we cannot see. Most of the stars we can see actually ARE brighter than our sun. From our perspective, because we are so close to it, the sun appears big, the same reason a 100 watt light bulb in the same room appears brighter than stadium lights four miles away.
Is there away to make dark brown skin brighter like a caramel color with out surgery?
I want to make my skin face brighter
Which is much brighter the flame of the candle or the stars why?
Candle flames appear to us to be brighter because we typically view them from a few feet away, while even the closest stars beyond our sun are trillions of miles. Up close, however, the smallest star outshines any candle by many orders of magnitude.
Why is Jupiter in the night sky brighter than betelgeuse?
Jupiter is brighter than Betelgeuse in the night sky because it is much closer to the Earth in comparison to Betelgeuse(Betelgeuse is more than 500 lightyears away form the Earth). This way, Jupiter appears larger than Betelgeuse, and celestial objects that appear larger also appear brighter than objects that appear small.
Why are stars not as bright as the moon?
The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.
Is a star brighter if it is closer to earth?
As star will appear brighter if it is closer to Earth, yes. How bright a star appears depend on how far away it is and the star's actual brightness.
What is he name of the star that is bigger than the sun?
Take any famous star, and read about it - most of them are bigger than our Sun. That doesn't mean our Suns is exceptionally small, quite the contrary; however, the brighter stars can be seen from far away.Take any famous star, and read about it - most of them are bigger than our Sun.

How much brighter would a street light that is 10 meters away compare to one that is 20 meters away?
4 times.
Can Jupiter be seen from earth?
Yes. Jupiter is the third brightest object in the night sky. Only the moon and Venus are brighter.
Describe the attitude and approximate size of the image when an object is very close to and far from a convex lens?
When the object is close it is big and upright when far away it is small and upright also
