What else can I help you with?
Is the sun equally bright as other stars?
No it is not. It is less bright than some, but brighter than others.
A bright star can appear dimmer than a less bright star if the bright star is?
If the bright star is located farther away from Earth than the less bright star, it will appear dimmer due to the inverse square law of light intensity. The amount of light reaching Earth decreases with distance, so a closer, less bright star can appear brighter than a further, brighter star.
What type of star is less bright than the sun?
A red dwarf star is less bright than the sun. Red dwarfs are small, cool stars that emit energy at a much lower rate compared to the sun. Despite being less luminous, red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe.
How bright are star?
In absolute terms, some are brighter than our Sun - in some rare cases, millions of times brighter - while others are much less bright than our Sun.
How bright would the sun appear to be to an observer on Earth if the Sun were four times farther from the Earth than it actually is?
The sun would be 4 times less bright than it is now. The brightness of the sun follows an inverse square law
How bright is 400 lumens?
This is a bit less light than a 40W incandescent bulb (much less than a 9-watt CFL bulb, but twice as much as a 5-watt CFL mini-bulb).
Can a star less massive then the sun become a supernova?
No, stars less massive than the Sun do not have enough mass to undergo a supernova explosion. Instead, they may end their lives as a white dwarf or, if they are even less massive, a planetary nebula. Supernovae are events associated with more massive stars.
How can you see other planetary objects?
I am not sure what exactly you mean with "planetary objects". To see planets, just look up in the evening, and watch out for objects that look like exceptionally bright stars. These days (October 2010), after sunset you can see Venus as a very bright star in the west, and Jupiter as a bright star (less bright than Venus, but otherwise exceptionally bright) in the east.
Are halide bulbs energy efficient?
Halide bulbs are generally more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs, but less efficient than newer LED technology. They produce bright light with less energy consumption than incandescent bulbs but still have a relatively shorter lifespan.
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.
Why is the sun easier to read than the times?
I thought the Times would have been easier to read considering it's less bright than the Sun. But seriously, don't buy tabloid trash.
Why does hydrogen have the simplest bright light spectrum?
Because the bright line spectrum is generated by the transition of electrons in the atom among higher and lower energy levels, and no other atom of any other element has less than one electron in it.
