What else can I help you with?
are smaller stars brighter?
No. Larger stars are generally brighter. Blue giants are the brightest stars while red dwarves are the faintest.
Are stars really little moons?
No. Stars are much larger than planets or moons. Stars are suns, some larger and brighter than our own.
What is a star's maximum lifespan?
A star's maximum lifespan depends on its mass. Generally, larger stars have shorter lifespans, burning brighter and faster, while smaller stars like our sun can live for around 10 billion years. The most massive stars can live for only a few million years, while smaller stars can burn for trillions of years as they slowly cool down.
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.
Are smaller stars closer to earth?
No, but because small stars emit less light than large ones, they are only visible to the naked eye at comparatively "short" distances in interstellar terms while larger, brighter stars are visible at much greater distances.

Its Cooler larger and brighter than most main sequence stars?
red giant
Why does pole star appear larger and brighter than other stars?
It doesn't. A lot of stars seem larger and brighter than it. In fact, Polaris is the 49th-brightest star in the sky. To us, it is not a particularly bright star. It is important because it seems to be still as other stars rotate around it.

Why do stars appear larger in the night sky?
When there is little light like during night time, we can see the stars more clearly. This makes them look brighter and hence, larger.
Why are some stars brighter than others?
Stars appear brighter depending on their size, temperature, and distance from Earth. Larger and hotter stars emit more light, making them appear brighter. Additionally, stars that are closer to Earth will appear brighter than those that are farther away.
Why is the north star so much brighter than other stars?
The north star, otherwise know as Polaris, is brighter than many other stars because it is much closer and perhaps larger than many other stars.
Why can one star be more brighter than another?
One star can be brighter than another due to factors such as its size, temperature, and distance from Earth. Larger and hotter stars tend to be brighter, while stars that are closer to Earth appear brighter in the sky. Additionally, the composition of a star's atmosphere and any surrounding objects can also impact its brightness.
How big is a massive star?
A massive star can be many times the size of our Sun, ranging from around 10 to 100 times its mass. These stars are much larger, hotter, and brighter than average stars, and they have relatively short lifespans compared to smaller stars.
