The stars vary in both how far away they are and in actual brightness. The closer a star is to us, the brighter it will appear. Stars also vary in actual brightness. For example, the brightest star in the night sky is Sirius. It appears bright because it is both a fairly bright star (about 25 times brighter than the sun) and is one of the closest stars to us at 8.6 light years away. The nearest star visible in the night sky, Alpha Centauri, is about half that distance but does not appear as bright because it is far less bright than Sirius in actual luminosity. Conversely, Sirius also appears brighter than Betelgeuse which is actually much brighter than Sirius but also much farther away.
