What are 8 conspicuous stars of magnitude 1 or brighter?
Our Sun is the brightest star of course, but presuming you discount that, the next brightest are:Sirius, Canopus, Alpha Centauri, Arcturus, Vega, Capella, Rigel and Procyon.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_brightest_stars
Which star is brighter Vega or Betelgeuse?
Brightnest is a factor of luminousity and distance as seen from Earth. (Apparent magnitude)Vega - 0.03.Betelgeuse: 0.42So Betelgeuse is brighter as viewed from Earth.
Is Vega or Betelgeuse the brightest star?
Brightness is a function of a stars luminosity as observed from Earth. So our Sun is the brightest. Vega has an apparent magnitude of: 0.03 Betelgeuse has an apparent magnitude of 0.42 So, in apparent magnitude, Vega is brighter.
What is the color and size of of the star vega?
Vega is a white star with an A-type spectrum. Its absolute magnitude (magnitude at a standard distance of 10 parsecs) is 0.5 making it 4 magnitudes brighter than the Sun, i.e. 40 times brighter. Its distance is 30 light years.
What constellation is Canopus in?
Canopus can be found the the constellation Carina

Why Vega brighter than Arcturus?
The apparent brightness of stars depends on:* The distance * The actual brightness * In some cases, the brightness may be dimmed by clouds of dust and gas, between us and the distant star. In the case of Vega and Arcturus, Vega is NOT brighter than Arcturus. Their apparent magnitude (brightness) is about the same, with Arcturus perhaps being slightly brighter, depending on the source consulted. In terms of real brightness ("absolute magnitude"), Arcturus is actually brighter. When consulting numbers, please remember that smaller numbers refer to brighter objects.
What is the difference between star Vega and star Capella?
Vega is brighter than Capella. Vega is closer to Earth than Capella. Vega is blue-white, Capella is yellow-ish. The name Vega comes from Arabic, whereas the name Capella comes from Latin. The meaning of Vega is a type of bird, the meaning of Capella is a type of mammal. :o)

Canopus can be found the the constellation Carina
Why Vega is brighter than Arcturus?
1. It might be closer to us, 2. it might be a bigger and brighter star. Arcturus is 35 light years away and has an absolute magnitude of -0.3, which makes it 100 times brighter than the Sun, while Vega is 26 light years away and has an absolute magnitude of 0.5, about half as bright as Arcturus. From Earth they are both about the same brightness.
