We use the phrase "absolute magnitude" to describe how bright a star really is, and "apparent magnitude" to describe how bright it looks from Earth. The lower the number, the brighter the star. Like the Richter scale of earthquakes, the scale is logarithmic; a change of "1" indicates a difference of a factor of 10.
For example, the bright red supergiant star Betelgeuse, at the upper left corner of the constellation Orion, has an absolute magnitude of -5.14, and an apparent magnitude of 0.58. Our Sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83, and an apparent magnitude of -27.6.

Is the brightness of a star compared to other stars called its magnitude.?
No; the "magnitude" is how bright the star is. It can either mean:* The apparent magnitude = how bright it seems to us, * The absolute magnitude = how bright the star really is (i.e., how bright it would seem at a standard distance).
What is the bright star below the moon?
The bright star below the moon can vary depending on the time and location, but it is often the planet Venus. Venus is known for being one of the brightest celestial objects in the night sky, and its close proximity to the moon can create a striking visual display.

Is the closer a star is to earth the brighter it is?
Yes. A star that is closer to us will appear brighter than if it were farther away. However, stars also vary in their actual brightness, so how bright a star appears depends on both how far away it is and how bright really it is.

What is different shape between apparent and absolute magnitude of stars?
This has nothing to do with shape. The apparent magnitude means how bright a star looks to us. The absolute magnitude means how bright the star really is (expressed as: how bright would it look at a standard distance).
