Some stars are actually bigger than others, and some are closer to us, so appear bigger. The biggest star is UY Scuti, which is 1708 times bigger than the sun. It is 7800 light years away. The closest is Alpha Centauri, at 4.5 light years away. Note: nearly all stars are so far away that they still appear as just points of light, even in large telescopes. The angular size of some stars can be measured using "interferometry".

Why do some starts appear brighter than others?

The brightness of stars varies because of many reasons. 1. The Distance. Some Stars are far away, and the light takes longer to reach us, so the star only appears to be darker then stars around it that may appear brighter. 2.The size. 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.
