Original answer:
Because it gives off more power.
Updated answer:
In general, because the 100-watt bulb produces more total light (lumens) because it also consumes more power than the 60-watt bulb. However, a 60-watt can produce more lumens than a 100-watt bulb, depending on the types of bulbs in question.

Which glows more brighter a 100 w bulb or a 75 w bulb explain?
A 100 watt bulb will normally glow brighter than a 50 watt bulb as long as you are comparing similar style bulbs. You have to compare Incandescents to Incandescents, Fluorescent to Fluorescent, LED to LED, and so forth. You also have to make sure your bulbs are similar in light patterns since you can have general dispersion lighting, spot lighting, flood lighting, and so forth. So, once again as long as you are comparing like style bulbs, yes a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb.
Can you use a 5 watt bulb in a 4 watt light?
If the socket threads of the lamp are the same then yes the bulbs can be interchanged. The 5 watt bulb will glow brighter than the 4 watt bulb. If by a 4 watt light you mean a 4 watt fixture, then it is not recommended to place a larger wattage lamp in a fixture that is rated by the manufacturer at a specific operating wattage
What is brighter than Venus?
100000000 times earths light
Which of the areas of technology best classifies the light bulb?
The incandescant light is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb, being 200% less efficient (on average) in producing the same amount of light (measured in lumens) than a fluorescent bulb. That being said, the light bulb would be considered part of a luminaire.
What one is brighter a 60 watt light bulb or a 100 watt light bulb?
If the two bulbs use the same technology the 100 w bulb is 10/6 times brighter than the 60 w. Incandescent bulbs give about 10-12 lumens per watt Halgogen gives about 15-18 lumens per watt CFL (low-energy) gives about 50 lumens per watt.
What is meant by LEDs?
LEDs are a kind of light that does not run on a bulb, like a typical lamp or overhead light. Rather, it is powered by a diode that emits light. This light is brighter, clearer, and less harsh than that provided by a bulb.
What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?
The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.
How does the light bulb improve people's lives from the 19th century?
So their houses and streets can be brighter because light bulbs give off more light than candles
What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
Why is a bulb brighter when it is powered by 2 batteries rather than 1?
it has more energy than one bulb

Why use an LED rather than a bulb?
LED's are brighter than bulbs.
If you have brighter bulbs will the battery last longer or will it run down quickly?
That does not depend directly on the brightness of the bulb, it depends on the current drawn by the bulb (which depends on the efficiency of the bulb). For example an incandescent bulb will draw much more current than a much brighter CFL bulb or LED bulb. Therefor switching to an brighter LED bulb can make the battery last much longer while switching to a brighter incandescent bulb will make the battery run down quicker.
Is light brighter than you can perceive it?
This is a difficult question to answer, as the brightness of light is itself perceived, rather than actual. In some ways, light is brighter than you can perceive it, simply because another person can perceive that light to be brighter than you yourself perceived it. The brightness of light to the eye is relative.
