In July and August 2009, the planet Jupiter is rising at just about the time the sun sets, from a point on the eastern horizon that is a little bit south of due East. It appears brighter than any star, and also shines more steadily ... twinkling less.
Not all celestial bodies move in circular orbits around larger objects. Planets can also orbit around stars or even on their own. So, it is not a requirement for a planet in a circular orbit to be moving around something bigger.
A stars brightness depends on two factors; its distance from us and its actual brightness (absolute magnitude). The actual brightness of a star depends on various factors, such as its mass, its temperature and its age.Consider two stars of the same actual brightness (absolute magnitude) - if one of them is much closer, then is will be brighter than the further one. It will appear brighter, even though it would be the same side by side - it can be said to be apparently brighter (higher apparent magnitude) due to its distance.A:They appear bigger and brighter because they really are bigger and brighter, but even if they are not bigger and brighter it could be because they are closer.
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth compared to the distant stars. Stars are actually suns, but they look tiny and faint because of their immense distance from us.
The sun appears bigger and brighter than other stars because it is much closer to Earth - only about 93 million miles away. Other stars are much farther away, making them appear much smaller and dimmer in comparison. Additionally, the sun is a relatively large and bright star compared to many others in the universe.
Because Sirius is closer to the earth that's why it is bigger

Three possibilities: It is brighter (some are brighter than others), it is bigger, or it is closer to earth.

The sun is brighter and bigger.
Like a star only bigger and a LOT brighter...

Three factors can affect the brilliance of a meteor. 1, Size. The bigger, the brighter. 2. Speed. Faster ones are brighter. 3. Materials. What it is made of can greatly affect how brightly it shines.
Satellites are stuff that revolve around a bigger body (this is specific)... celestial bodies are stuff that are out in space (this is general)
