Is the sun brighter than a star?
Yes, the sun s brighter than most stars, but it is dimmer than most of the stars we can see with our naked eye.
Why does the sun look brighter than other stars?
Simple, even though the sun is dimmer then many stars, it is over a thousand times closer to the earth and thus is larger to us and brighter
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.
How can stars have different absolute brightness?
Big stars are brighter than small stars, and hot stars are brighter than cool ones.
Which star is cooler and more brighter than the sun?
There are a lot of these. They are mainly the "Red Giant" and "Red Supergiant" stars.
Is the sun brighter than a star?
Yes, the sun s brighter than most stars, but it is dimmer than most of the stars we can see with our naked eye.
Its Cooler larger and brighter than most main sequence stars?
red giant
How is the sun different from other stars relative to earth?
The Sun is bigger than some stars and smaller than others. It is brighter than some stars and dimmer than others. Relative to the Earth it is much closer than all other stars.
Why does the sun look brighter than other stars?
Simple, even though the sun is dimmer then many stars, it is over a thousand times closer to the earth and thus is larger to us and brighter
How does the HR diagram explain why some smaller cooler stars are brighter than larger hotter stars?
In terms of absolute magnitude, a larger hotter star will necessarily be more luminous than a smaller cooler star. However, if a smaller cooler star is much closer to us than a larger hotter star, it may appear to be brighter. None of this has anything to do with the HR diagram.
Why do cool stars have greater luminosity than our sun?
They do not necessarily have greater luminosity, it depends on their size. Betelgeuse is cooler and brighter; a red dwarf is cooler and less bright.

How do star are more brighter than other stars?
Stars are more brighter than other stars because they have different characteristics that affect their luminosity. Luminosity is the amount of energy that a star emits per unit of time. It depends on the star's size, temperature, and distance from the observer. Some of the factors that make stars more brighter than other stars are: Size: Larger stars have more surface area and can emit more light than smaller stars. Temperature: Hotter stars have higher energy and can emit more light than cooler stars. Distance: Closer stars appear brighter than farther stars because their light has less space to travel and lose intensity.
What causes some stars to be brighter than others?
In absolute terms larger (more massive) stars shine more brightly than less massive ones. In relative terms (as seen from Earth) more distant stars appear dimmer than closer ones.
Are sun and stars same?
Yes, though not all stars are the same. Some stars are bigger and brighter than the sun, some smaller and dimmer, and others about the same. The sun is only of significance to use because it is much closer than any other star.
Which star is cooler and more brighter than the sun?
There are a lot of these. They are mainly the "Red Giant" and "Red Supergiant" stars.
