What else can I help you with?
Is the moon brighter than the stars?
no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna
Why do the stars seem smaller than the sun?
Stars appear smaller than the Sun because they are much farther away from Earth. The Sun is the closest star to us, so it appears much larger and brighter than other stars in the night sky. Additionally, our eyes perceive the size of objects based on their brightness and proximity, which can make stars seem smaller in comparison to the Sun.
Are the stars brighter in the southern hemisphere than the northern hemisphere?
For the most part there is less developed land in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that at night when you can see the stars there is less light pollution, and generally, I believe. less air pollution. Less air pollution means less tiny particles in the air. Particles tend to interfere with the passage of light, so you can't see stars that give off less light. At the same time "Light Pollution" makes the sky seem lighter providing poorer contrast and making weaker stars more difficult to see. In other words, stars are not brighter in the Southern Hemisphere, they're just easier to see.
Why do some stars look bigger than the other stars?
Some stars appear bigger than others due to their intrinsic luminosity, distance from Earth, and atmospheric effects. Brighter stars or those closer to Earth may appear larger in the sky, while atmospheric distortion can also make stars seem larger than they actually are.
What would the nigh tsky look like if all-stars had same absolute magnitude as the sun?
If all stars had the same absolute magnitude as our Sun, we wouldn't see many bright stars. Many of the stars that seem brightest to use are far, far away, but thousands of times brighter than our Sun. Those are relatively short-lived stars, many of them will live only a few million years. (Yes, this is short for a star; many stars, like our Sun, have life spans of billions of years.)
Why do planets seem brighter than stars?
Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.
Does the sun seem brighter than other stars because of the absolute magnitude?
No because of its proximity to the earth.
Why does pole star appear larger and brighter than other stars?
It doesn't. A lot of stars seem larger and brighter than it. In fact, Polaris is the 49th-brightest star in the sky. To us, it is not a particularly bright star. It is important because it seems to be still as other stars rotate around it.
Why does the sun shines brightly than other stars?
The Sun appears brighter than most other stars because it is much closer to Earth. Its proximity makes it seem brighter and more intense. Additionally, the Sun's luminosity is higher than many other stars due to its size and age, contributing to its apparent brightness from our perspective on Earth.
Do stars like the southern cross constelation ever get eclipsed and blanked from view by other stars?
Yes, that is possible, but usually they are too far away to tell. It would just seem like the star got brighter.

When look up at the stars at night they seem very close to earth is this accurate?
When you look at the stars at night, you can't really tell how distant they are. They can easily seem to be closer than they really are.
Why do the stars seem smaller than the sun?
Stars appear smaller than the Sun because they are much farther away from Earth. The Sun is the closest star to us, so it appears much larger and brighter than other stars in the night sky. Additionally, our eyes perceive the size of objects based on their brightness and proximity, which can make stars seem smaller in comparison to the Sun.
Why do other stars in the galaxy appear so small in the night sky?
Because they are so far away, they seem tiny, because of perspective.
Are the stars brighter in the southern hemisphere than the northern hemisphere?

Why the stars appear to move during the night?
stars seem to move because we are moving right now as we speak i guess you just see them move more at night
Can you give us a sentence with millions?
The millions of stars in the night sky seem uncountable.
