In July and August 2009, the planet Jupiter is rising at just about the time the sun sets, from a point on the eastern horizon that is a little bit south of due East. It appears brighter than any star, and also shines more steadily ... twinkling less.
Something with a gravitational field yes, not necessarily something bigger.
It is the closest star to us and that is why it looks bigger and brighter.
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 us than any other stars.

The bigger the COOLER the brighter.

Three possibilities: It is brighter (some are brighter than others), it is bigger, or it is closer to earth.
