Three physical factors that determine a star's brightness are its temperature (hotter stars are brighter), size (larger stars are generally brighter), and distance from Earth (the closer a star is, the brighter it appears).


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.


Is a small star brighter than a large star?
