The galaxy IRAS is approximately 25 times brighter than the Sun.
The former is 10 times brighter than the latter.
Capella is about 42.2 light-years away from Earth, while Sirius is about 8.6 light-years away. Therefore, Capella is approximately 4.9 times larger in terms of distance from Earth than Sirius.
A magnitude 1 star is 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star. This is because the magnitude scale is logarithmic, with each whole number representing a brightness difference of about 2.5 times.
The moon is not brighter than the sun. The sun is much larger and hotter than the moon, making it significantly brighter. The moon only reflects sunlight, so it appears bright in the night sky.

Vega is brighter than Capella. Vega is closer to Earth than Capella. Vega is blue-white, Capella is yellow-ish. The name Vega comes from Arabic, whereas the name Capella comes from Latin. The meaning of Vega is a type of bird, the meaning of Capella is a type of mammal. :o)
It is four times as brighter. It is four times as brighter.
2 magnitudes brighter means it's about 2.512 x 2.512 times brighter. So that's about 6.31 times brighter.
There are many stars that are brighter than the sun. Deneb shines the brightest in the constellation Cygnus and is much farther from Earth than most of the other stars you see. Deneb is about 100,000 times brighter than the Sun. HR 5171, has a diameter 1,300 times the sun and is a million times brighter than the sun. R136a1 weighs up to 300 times the mass of the Sun and is close to 10 million times brighter than the sun.

A magnitude 1 star is 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 2 star. This is because the magnitude scale is logarithmic, with each whole number representing a brightness difference of about 2.5 times.
well v838 Mon is about 600,000 times more luminous(bright) than our sun

The sun appears brighter than Sirius does because it is about half a million times closer to us.
