A nova is a star that suddenly increases in brightness.
Three factors that affect a star's brightness are the star's distance from earth, its age and its luminosity. The farther the star is from earth, the less bright it appears. As a star increases in age, its brightness also increases. Its brightness also depends on its luminosity, which is the amount of energy the star emits per second.
How old a star is.

Apparent magnitude.
the brightness of a star
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
photographs use to measure the brightness of a star
The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".
Absolute Brightness: How bright a star appears at a certain distance. Apparent Brightness: The brightness of a star as seen from Earth.
There is no purpose of a star's brightness. They just exist and shine.
An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.
