It could be either, depending on the characteristics of the star.
Its the closest star to us, so it appears brighter.
Like a star only bigger and a LOT brighter...
Its brightness. the bigger the number, the fainter. So, -1 is brighter than 5.
They are related because the bigger the star the brighter u can see it otherwise the smaller the star the duller it is to see.
A star that is brighter than another.
It would look brighter if it is closer to Earth. It is also possible for a small star (small in diameter) to have a higher surface temperature, i.e., to emit more light per square meter of its surface.
A stars brightness depends on two factors; its distance from us and its actual brightness (absolute magnitude). The actual brightness of a star depends on various factors, such as its mass, its temperature and its age.Consider two stars of the same actual brightness (absolute magnitude) - if one of them is much closer, then is will be brighter than the further one. It will appear brighter, even though it would be the same side by side - it can be said to be apparently brighter (higher apparent magnitude) due to its distance.A:They appear bigger and brighter because they really are bigger and brighter, but even if they are not bigger and brighter it could be because they are closer.

The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth - only about 93 million miles away. Other stars are much farther away, making them appear much smaller and dimmer in comparison. Additionally, the sun is a relatively large and bright star compared to many others in the universe.
The bigger and hotter a star is, the shorter its lifespan will be. This is because higher temperatures cause stars to burn through their fuel more quickly, leading to a faster depletion of their energy source and a shorter overall existence.
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.
