Quasars are among the brightest objects in the universe and are intrinsically far, far brighter than stars, though the one which appears brightest to us on Earth (3C 273, a quasar in the constellation of Virgo) is so far away (about two and a half billion light years) that it cannot be seen without a telescope.
3C 273 is actually two trillion times as bright as the Sun and is in fact about a hundred times brighter than the entire Milky Way galaxy.
We do think that quasars involve super massive black holes, but what we see is not the black hole itself (which is, well, black and therefore invisible) but its accretion disc.
What else can I help you with?

Is there something brighter than sun?

What do the largest and brightest galaxies contain?
quasars.
What is brighter than stars?
Supernovae are often brighter than stars; they can get bright enough to be seen during the day, although these are quite rare. The Sun, the Moon, and some planets, comets and meteors are also brighter than stars.
What are brighter than any single stars?
Double stars, or a Super Nova, or a comet that is close to Earth the Moon and of course Venus. The morning, evening "Star". Actually you have to distinguish between apparent brightness (as seen from Earth) and absolute brightness (as seen from a standard distance). In apparent brightness, Venus, Jupiter and Mars are brighter than any star - but their real brightness is much less. In absolute terms, some things that are brighter than single stars are groups of stars (double stars, star clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters), exploding stars (novae, supernovae, hypernovae); and quasars.
Why do some dwarf stars appear brighter than giant stars?
Because they are closer or actually brighter.
Is the sun brighter because it is closer than the other stars?
It is better to say that the sun appears brighter because it is closer. Some stars are actually brighter than the sun.
Why is venus brighter than the stars?
Because it is nearer that the stars.
What is the past tense of some stars appear to be brighter than others?
'Appear' would become 'appeared' in the past tense so the sentence would simply be 'some stars appeared to be brighter than others'.
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
Is Nubula brighter than stars?

Are quasars much larger than stars?
Yes, a average quasar is the size of our solar system
