Regulus is the brightest star in Leo, with a maximum apparent magnitude of 1.35. It is located 77.5 light years from Earth, and is the 22nd brightest star in the nighttime sky.
The brightest stars have lower magnitude numbers. So a "First magnitude star" is one of the brightest stars there are. Some things are even brighter; the planet Venus is sometimes the third brightest thing in the sky (after the Sun and the Moon). The magnitude of Venus can be as bright as -1. Higher numbers are for dimmer stars. About the dimmest star you could see would be a seventh-magnitude star, but only if the sky were VERY dark.
