This is a difficult question to answer, as the brightness of light is itself perceived, rather than actual. In some ways, light is brighter than you can perceive it, simply because another person can perceive that light to be brighter than you yourself perceived it. The brightness of light to the eye is relative.

Is the moon brighter than the stars?

no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna
