What is the planet that is brighter among stars?
Venus is the brightest, then Jupiter and mars. All of these can potentially be brighter than sirus, but have to be well placed in their orbits relative to us.
Is the planet jupiter brighter than stars?
For us, it looks brighter than any star, but this is because it is much nearer. Now (March/April 2012) you can see two bright "stars" in the west, after sunset - the brighter one is planet Venus, the second-brightest one is planet Jupiter. In terms of absolute brightness, a star is brighter than a planet.
What are brighter than any single stars?
Double stars, or a Super Nova, or a comet that is close to Earth the Moon and of course Venus. The morning, evening "Star". Actually you have to distinguish between apparent brightness (as seen from Earth) and absolute brightness (as seen from a standard distance). In apparent brightness, Venus, Jupiter and Mars are brighter than any star - but their real brightness is much less. In absolute terms, some things that are brighter than single stars are groups of stars (double stars, star clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters), exploding stars (novae, supernovae, hypernovae); and quasars.
What planet is occasional brighter then Jupiter?
Venus is occasionally brighter than jupiter
Why does venus have an apparent magnitude greater than a star?
Although it does not emit its own light like a star, the planet Venus is very close to Earth compared to the stars. This means that the light reflected off its surface from the sun makes it brighter than the distant stars.
Is Venus's or Mars brighter?
Venus is brighter than Mars in the night sky. Due to its proximity to Earth and its reflective atmosphere, Venus appears as the third-brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, making it more prominent than Mars.
What planet is brighter than venus?
Venus, at its brightest, is brighter than any other planet. However, when it's not at its brightest, there are a couple of others than can be brighter if they're near their brightest, Mars and Jupiter being the most notable.
What 2 objects are brighter in the sky than Venus?
The Sun and the Moon are the only celestial objects that appear brighter in the sky than Venus.
Are brighter than stars.?
Quasars A+
Why do some dwarf stars appear brighter than giant stars?
Because they are closer or actually brighter.
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.
Are stars brighter than planets?
Stars are intrinsically brighter than planets, typically. Planets (in general) shine by reflected starlight, whereas stars produce their own light. The exception are black dwarfs, which are burned out stars, and neutron stars which do not emit much light in the visible spectrum. Some planets glow a bit in the infrared from their own internal heat as well. As seen from earth Venus outshines any star, and Jupiter rivals Sirius, Arcturus, and Vega in brightness. These stars are all brighter than Mars and Saturn. The reason the planets appear brighter than some stars is because they are very close, while the stars are very, very far away.
