Why do some starts appear brighter than others?

The brightness of stars varies because of many reasons. 1. The Distance.

Some stars are massive, and appear brighter then others simply due to their size. 3. It isn't a star. what you may be looking at isn't a star. You may be seeing a satellite, quasar, or even a close white dwarf or neutron star. 4. Finally, you may be looking at the milky way. in which case, they all appear to be brighter then stars outside it. This also falls under distance.
