Why do some stars look brighter than others?

Stars look brighter than others due to factors such as their size, temperature, and distance from Earth. A larger and hotter star will appear brighter, as will a star that is closer to us. The brightness of a star as seen from Earth is measured by its apparent magnitude.


Why do stars appear larger in the night sky?

When there is little light like during night time, we can see the stars more clearly. This makes them look brighter and hence, larger.


Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?

moon is too nearer to earth than stars


Why do billions of stars appear as big patches of the night sky?

Those stars are too far away for us to see them individually, but their combined light makes part of the night sky look brighter.


Why does the sun look bigger and brighter than all the other stars?

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.


Is Polaris brighter than other stars?

Why does the sun appear bigger and brighter than the other stars?

Do earth have stars?

No, The earth does not have stars. Stars are like the sun. They are so far away that they do not look bright to us. Look at car headlights. When a car is far away, its headlights seem dim. They get brighter as the car gets closer.


How come some stars look brighter that others?

Stars appear brighter if they are closer to Earth, have a higher intrinsic luminosity, or if they emit more light in the visible spectrum. Factors like size, temperature, and age can also impact how bright a star appears to us. Additionally, the presence of dust, gas, or other objects in space can affect how much of a star's light reaches us.


Why do some stars so much larger and brighter than other stars when you look into the night sky?

because the sizes and the distances away from earth are different


Why does a star called as a luminous?

"Luminous" in this context means "bright" - how much light (or how much energy in general) does the star emit. Note that stars look dim to us only because they are far away - some of them are actually several times brighter than our Sun, in absolute terms. That is, if you would see several stars, and our Sun, at a same standard distance, some stars would be dimmer, but others would be brighter, than our Sun.
