It's because of the relative magnitude of the star's luminosity. If you are looking at a star from Earth that is about 4 light years away, it will appear much brighter than the same kind, type, and age of star that is 8 light years away. Though the absolute magnitude of both of those stars may be the same (absolute magnitude is the brightness of a star at about 36.2 light years away from earth), the relative magnitude is different because of the distance of both stars.
It is a combination of their actual brightness, size and distance.

Why do some stars seem so brighter in the night sky than other stars?
Some are closer than others and some have more power and brightness.
Why are some stars are brighter than the others?

What is the past tense of some stars appear to be brighter than others?
'Appear' would become 'appeared' in the past tense so the sentence would simply be 'some stars appeared to be brighter than others'.
Why do some stars look brighter than others?
Some stars make more nuclear fusion, or just have more energy.
How come some stars look brighter that others?
that's because some stars are closer to the earth; another reason is that some stars get more sunlight than others; another reason IS that the star might not have that much enregy

How is the sun different from other stars relative to earth?
The Sun is bigger than some stars and smaller than others. It is brighter than some stars and dimmer than others. Relative to the Earth it is much closer than all other stars.
Why do some dwarf stars appear brighter than giant stars?
Because they are closer or actually brighter.
On average how do the distances of the nearest stars compare with those of the brightest stars?
Stars range in many different shapes and sizes some have super energy and others have less energy. Usually the more mass the star has the more light it will seem to emit more light, the distance can matter, one thing to remember when looking at the stars is that it can and does take thousands of years for the light from a star to reach the Earth. Some stars are brighter than others because they have more energy than others.
Why are some stars brighter than others?
not all stars are the same temperature and the temperature matters, it also effects how bright a star is. (i am not 100% sure about this answer but that is all i know)
Is the sun brighter because it is closer than the other stars?
It is better to say that the sun appears brighter because it is closer. Some stars are actually brighter than the sun.
