It's either closer or it's brighter.
A star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.2 appears 1.4 magnitudes brighter than another one whose apparent visual magnitude is 4.6 .
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.
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).
Betelgeuse is brighter.
One star may appear brighter than another star due to several factors, including its size, temperature, distance from Earth, and luminosity. A larger, hotter, closer, or more luminous star will typically appear brighter in the night sky compared to a smaller, cooler, more distant, or less luminous star.
A star that is brighter than another.
The star might be closer to the Earth, or it is just brighter than the others. :D
The size of the star, because the smaller the star the hotter it is because of nuclear fusion. So the hotter the brighter.

There is no such thing as a star with a magnitude brighter than -1. Negative magnitudes indicate brighter objects, with the most negative magnitudes corresponding to the brightest objects in the sky.
Apparent and absolute magnitude
A star's brightness is a function of its luminosity, or the amount of energy it produces per unit time. Vega must have a higher luminosity, meaning it fuses more material than Betelgeuse in a given period of time.

Betelgeuse is brighter.
Because it actuall IS brighter.
