It all depends on how big the star was, how far it was from us in the first instance, and also, more importantly, HOW much closer.
A star 1 million light years away, that moved 1% closer, you wouldn't see any difference.
Basically, a star would have to be VERY close to make any real visual difference.

Beacuse it is closer to earth.
It would look brighter if it is closer to Earth. It is also possible for a small star (small in diameter) to have a higher surface temperature, i.e., to emit more light per square meter of its surface.
Yes, a star appears brighter if it is closer to Earth because the brightness of a star we see is affected by its distance. The closer a star is, the greater the amount of light that reaches Earth, making it appear brighter in the sky.
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
Because it is closer to the earth than any other star.
As a star moves closer to Earth, its spectral lines would appear blueshifted. This means that the wavelengths of the lines would be compressed and shifted towards the blue end of the spectrum due to the Doppler effect. Observers on Earth would measure the star's light as having shorter wavelengths compared to when the star is further away.
The Sun is the closest star to the Earth
The moon is far closer to Earth than any star is.
You would have to look through the earth to see it, earth is opaque.
The sun appears to be the biggest star because it is the closest to Earth. Like if you held your hand up while standing on the top of a mountain, it would look much bigger than the houses on the ground because it is closer to you.
Because it is closer to the earth than any other star.
