Why stars are not as bright as the moon?
In terms of actual brightness the stars are much brighter than the moon and some are even brighter than the sun. They only appear dim because they are much farther away than either the sun or the moon.
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
Why are stars not as bright as the moon?
The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.
Why does the sun appear brighter than your stars?
Because it's closer, like the moon
Are the stars only visible at night?
Yes. But there are stars in the morning, it just cannot be seen. That is because the sun is brighter than the stars, while in the night, the moon is a reflection of the sun (light) so the stars are brighter and is clearly visible.
Why does the sun look bigger and brighter than all the other stars?
It is the closest star to us and that is why it looks bigger and brighter.
How can stars have different absolute brightness?
Big stars are brighter than small stars, and hot stars are brighter than cool ones.
Where to the stars go in the daytime?
They are still there, but the brightness of the sun is far brighter and overwhelms the light from the stars. It is like when you see the moon during the day, it looks dimmer because the sky around it is brighter. This is the same effect on stars except the stars are far less bright than the moon and they essentially get lost in the brightness.
Why is the moon brighter than the sun?
it isn't the sun is 450000 times brighter than the moon! no..
Is Polaris brighter than other stars?
Look up in the sky and you will see. Polaris is actually quite dim, compared to other stars and planets. Even at it's dimmest, Mars is brighter than Polaris.
Why does the sun look brighter than the moon?
The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
