Everything else in the Universe
No it is not. It is less bright than some, but brighter than others.
Farther away!
On the main sequence, red dwarfs and orange dwarfs are less bright than the sun. Our sun is a yellow dwarf.
It is a lot brighter than 50 candlepower and slightly less bright than 402 candlepower.
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.
A parallel circuit is cheaper because it is simpler but it does carry less power than a circuit so your light will be less bright.
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.
The sun would be 4 times less bright than it is now. The brightness of the sun follows an inverse square law
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).
about 10 times higher than in the Milky Way
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.
