Is the brightness of a star compared to other stars called its magnitude.?
No; the "magnitude" is how bright the star is. It can either mean:* The apparent magnitude = how bright it seems to us, * The absolute magnitude = how bright the star really is (i.e., how bright it would seem at a standard distance).
What 3 factors affect how bright a star appears from earth?
The 3 factors that affect a star's brightness as viewed from earth, are: The star's age, distance from earth, and actual magnitude (scale a star's brightness is measured in).
A bright star can appear dimmer than a less bright star if the bright star is?
If the bright star is located farther away from Earth than the less bright star, it will appear dimmer due to the inverse square law of light intensity. The amount of light reaching Earth decreases with distance, so a closer, less bright star can appear brighter than a further, brighter star.

How can you see other planetary objects?
I am not sure what exactly you mean with "planetary objects". To see planets, just look up in the evening, and watch out for objects that look like exceptionally bright stars. These days (October 2010), after sunset you can see Venus as a very bright star in the west, and Jupiter as a bright star (less bright than Venus, but otherwise exceptionally bright) in the east.

a star

How can a star give off the most light and not be the brightest in the sky?
How bright a star appears depends on both its actual brightness and how far away it is. The farther away a star is, the dimmer it appears. A bright but very distant star many therefore appear dimmer than a less bright star that is closer to us.
What type of symmetry does a brittle star have?
