The simple answer is that it does not. It is important to note that stars radiate across a whole range of electromagnetic frequencies, not just in the visible part of the spectrum. Astronomers use bolometric absolute magnitude to adjust for the fact that a star may be radiating much of their energy outside of the visible range. Using the bolometric absolute magnitude, the brightest star, with magnitude -12.5 is RMC136a1 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of 163000 light years.
Among stars visible to the naked eye, Bellatrix does not even make it to the top ten in terms of its bolometric absolute magnitude. That distinction goes to P Cygni with an absolute magnitude of -9.7. It is 5900 light years away. In comparison, Bellatrix has a magnitude of only -2.64
Gamma Orionis (Bellatrix) is the third brightest star in the constellation Orion.It has an apparent magnitude of 1.64 and an absolute magnitude of -2.72.This makes it the 27th brightest star in the nighttime sky.
The simple answer is that it does not: it does not even feature in the top ten!
As of January 2016 the brightest supernova reported was ASSN SN 15lh. It had an absolute magnitude of - 23.5. For comparison, the absolute magnitude of the Sun is 4.83.
The absolute magnitude
Acrux is the brightest star in the constellation Crux.It has an apparent magnitude of +0.77It has an absolute magnitude of -4.14
Alpha Persei (Mirfak or Algenib) is the brightest star in the constellation of Perseus.It has an apparent magnitude of 1.79 and an absolute magnitude of -4.50
No. The sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83. By comparison, Betelgeuse has an absolute magnitude of -5.85. Lower numbers indicate a brighter star. In this case Betelgeuse is actually several thousand times brighter than the sun. The sun is the brightest star as measure by apparent magnitude, which is how bright a star looks from a given location and depends on both absolute magnitude and distance.
The approximate absolute magnitude of Rigel is about -7.0. This makes it one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
Rigel has an apparent magnitude of around 0.12, making it one of the brightest stars in the sky. Its absolute magnitude, which measures intrinsic brightness, is around -7.0, indicating its high luminosity.
Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation Orion.It has an apparent magnitude of 0.18 and an absolute magnitude of -6.7
Beta Centauri (Hadar or Agena) is the second brightest star in the constellation Centaurus.It has an apparent magnitude of 0.6 -> 0.8 (It's a variable star) or an absolute magnitude of -4.57
Sirius has a lower absolute magnitude than Rigel. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky with an absolute magnitude of 1.42, while Rigel has an absolute magnitude of -8.1, making it much brighter than Sirius.
