Is the moon brighter than the stars?
no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna

Are the stars brighter in the southern hemisphere than the northern hemisphere?
For the most part there is less developed land in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that at night when you can see the stars there is less light pollution, and generally, I believe. less air pollution. Less air pollution means less tiny particles in the air. Particles tend to interfere with the passage of light, so you can't see stars that give off less light. At the same time "Light Pollution" makes the sky seem lighter providing poorer contrast and making weaker stars more difficult to see. In other words, stars are not brighter in the Southern Hemisphere, they're just easier to see.
