Is sun the brightest star?

The brightness of a star is usually referred to as its magnitude. Every star has two magnitudes. The apparent magnitude is how bright it appears to us here on earth. The absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude that the star would have, if it were viewed from a standard distance.
