"Orion" is the label given to a certain pattern of stars, and to a precisely defined

region of the sky. Either way, Orion comprises a huge number of individual stars,

and each and every one of them has its own magnitude.

Where can you see the Orion?

The Orion star does not exist - the Orion constellation is visible to most people. The exact answer depends on where you are and what time of year it is. First of all you must be in the Northern Hemisphere. At the time of this writing (December) Orion rises rather late, and it does not reach its zenith until after midnight, but it is one of the easiest constellations to find. Look for three stars in roughly a straight vertical line. The two lower stars are of apparently the same magnitude, and the highest star is slightly less bright. That's Orion's Belt. The other four stars of Orion are around it like a box.

How bright is a star really is?

We use the phrase "absolute magnitude" to describe how bright a star really is, and "apparent magnitude" to describe how bright it looks from Earth. The lower the number, the brighter the star. Like the Richter scale of earthquakes, the scale is logarithmic; a change of "1" indicates a difference of a factor of 10. For example, the bright red supergiant star Betelgeuse, at the upper left corner of the constellation Orion, has an absolute magnitude of -5.14, and an apparent magnitude of 0.58. Our Sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83, and an apparent magnitude of -27.6.
