Why would a red giant star be brighter than a white dwarf?
because its biger
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 would Io appear brighter from Jupiter?
Because you are closer to it as it is a moon of Jupiter.
Why do some stars appear bigger and brighter than others?
A stars brightness depends on two factors; its distance from us and its actual brightness (absolute magnitude). The actual brightness of a star depends on various factors, such as its mass, its temperature and its age.Consider two stars of the same actual brightness (absolute magnitude) - if one of them is much closer, then is will be brighter than the further one. It will appear brighter, even though it would be the same side by side - it can be said to be apparently brighter (higher apparent magnitude) due to its distance.A:They appear bigger and brighter because they really are bigger and brighter, but even if they are not bigger and brighter it could be because they are closer.

Does the northern star get brighter when traveling north?
No. It just becomes higher in the sky. If you were to stand at the North Pole,the 'North Star' (Polaris) would appear almost directly overhead.
Which is brighter mars or Saturn?
Mars would be brighter compared to Saturn because it is closer to Earth.
Which is brighter larger stars or smaller stars?
Brightness is related to distance. However, from the same distance, an O class star is much much brighter than a M class star. As a comparison, an O class star would appear about 100,000 times brighter than our Sun, whereas a M class star could appear 0.0017 dimmer than our Sun, if the Sun was replaced with each star.
Will the sky become brighter over time?
Yes, the sky will become brighter, as the sun gradually brightens over its lifetime - within a billion years due to increased radiation the Earth's water is expected to evaporate into space, making Earth uninhabitable. Eventually the sun will swell into its red giant phase, hundreds of times its current radius, and the Earth will be pulled into the enlarged sun. On the other hand, in a much larger scale, cosmological effects appear to be gradually darkening the night sky; our current understanding puts dark energy as the dominant form in the universe - the effect of which is expected to accelerate expansion of the universe to a point that, eventually, no other matter would be visible.
How absorption and scattering can affect beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
How can absorption and scattering affect a beam of light?
How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.
What are Two reasons why one star would be brighter than another?
It's either closer or it's brighter.
