Double stars, or a Super Nova, or a comet that is close to Earth the Moon and of course Venus. The morning, evening "Star".
Actually you have to distinguish between apparent brightness (as seen from Earth) and absolute brightness (as seen from a standard distance). In apparent brightness, Venus, Jupiter and Mars are brighter than any star - but their real brightness is much less. In absolute terms, some things that are brighter than single stars are groups of stars (double stars, star clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters), exploding stars (novae, supernovae, hypernovae); and quasars.

Why does the sun appear bigger and brighter than the other stars?
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the distant stars. Stars are actually suns, but they look tiny and faint because of their immense distance from us.
When compared with most stars are planets brighter or smaller?
Well,planets do not have any light of their own so they are definitely not brighter and yes there may be some stars smaller than the planets but most of the stars are bigger than the planets . But on the whole the Space is not that much explored so that we can get any cumulative answer.
Is the planet jupiter brighter than stars?
For us, it looks brighter than any star, but this is because it is much nearer. Now (March/April 2012) you can see two bright "stars" in the west, after sunset - the brighter one is planet Venus, the second-brightest one is planet Jupiter. In terms of absolute brightness, a star is brighter than a planet.
Is Ursa Major brighter than Orion the hunter?
No - Orion has more bright stars within it than any other constellation.
Are stars brighter than planets?
Stars are intrinsically brighter than planets, typically. Planets (in general) shine by reflected starlight, whereas stars produce their own light. The exception are black dwarfs, which are burned out stars, and neutron stars which do not emit much light in the visible spectrum. Some planets glow a bit in the infrared from their own internal heat as well. As seen from earth Venus outshines any star, and Jupiter rivals Sirius, Arcturus, and Vega in brightness. These stars are all brighter than Mars and Saturn. The reason the planets appear brighter than some stars is because they are very close, while the stars are very, very far away.
Why can one star be more brighter than another?
One star can be brighter than another due to factors such as its size, temperature, and distance from Earth. Larger and hotter stars tend to be brighter, while stars that are closer to Earth appear brighter in the sky. Additionally, the composition of a star's atmosphere and any surrounding objects can also impact its brightness.
Why does the sun look brighter than other stars?
The sun appears brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star. The intensity of light we receive from a star decreases with distance, so stars farther away appear dimmer. Additionally, the sun is a relatively hot and luminous star compared to many others, further contributing to its brightness.
Are commets brighter than stars?
No. Stars generate their own light, and are far more massive than any comet. Comets don't shine at all; they merely reflect the light of the Sun. From our perspective here on Earth, some comets appear to be brighter than stars, but only because the comets are here in THIS solar system, relatively nearby, while stars are many light-years away.
What is brighter that any single star?
Moon in the sky.
What makes some stars appear brighter than others the temperature or the size?
It is a mixture of both. A hotter star will generally appear brighter than a cooler star of the same size. Similarly, a large star will appear brighter than a small one of the same temperature. The brightest stars are generally red supergiants, which are comparatively cool stars, but are so large that their size more than makes up for it. A star's apparent brightness from any given vantage point also depends on its distance. The closer a star is to you, the brighter it will appear.
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
What is he name of the star that is bigger than the sun?
Take any famous star, and read about it - most of them are bigger than our Sun. That doesn't mean our Suns is exceptionally small, quite the contrary; however, the brighter stars can be seen from far away.Take any famous star, and read about it - most of them are bigger than our Sun.
