It's the same either way. It is a common optical illusion that the Moon is brighter or larger near the horizon, but actual measurements show no difference.
Dimmer.
a sun is a star so it would be considered both dimmer .
Rigel is one of the brightest stars in the sky.
They are still there, but the brightness of the sun is far brighter and overwhelms the light from the stars. It is like when you see the moon during the day, it looks dimmer because the sky around it is brighter. This is the same effect on stars except the stars are far less bright than the moon and they essentially get lost in the brightness.
Usually a switch will only let you choose between ON and OFF, but a dimmer switch will let you change between Brighter or Darker.
it isn't the sun is 450000 times brighter than the moon! no..
Brighter, since Mars is closest to Earth in its orbit and in a full phase as viewed from Earth.
What is the phase of the moon when the sunset is near the horizon?
Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon. This is every time you happen to see it near the horizon, but it is only an illusion.Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon.

the time when the Moon sinks below the horizon
Yes, the sun s brighter than most stars, but it is dimmer than most of the stars we can see with our naked eye.
From our perspective, it is not brighter. It is mostly the far side of the moon that is lit up, and it is bright there, but we cannot see it.
