How bright is the sun compared to other stars?
Compared to most stars, it's actually a medium-sized star, and because of its yellowish-orange colour, means that the sun is haflway through it's live and is at its brightest. However, it's pretty bright, and would score a 6.5/10 compared to other stars.
Is venus the brightest planet in the sky?
Yes because it is the closest, and its atmosphere is made of a reflective gas.
What magnitude would he associated with the brightest star?
The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, which has an apparent magnitude of approximately -1.46. This negative value indicates that it is extremely bright compared to other stars visible from Earth. The magnitude scale is logarithmic, so a difference of 5 magnitudes corresponds to a brightness factor of 100.
What is the very large bright star in the sky at the moment?
Other than the Sun and Moon, the brightest thing in the evening sky right now is the planet Venus, visible in the southwest sky at sunset. In fact, Venus is so bright, you can see it in the daytime if you know just where to look. Other than Venus, the brightest stars in the sky are Sirius, Vega and Rigel.
Why does the sun appear the brightest among the stars?
The sun appears the brightest among the stars because it is the closest star to Earth, emitting a much higher amount of light and energy compared to other stars. Its proximity and large size make it appear brighter in our sky.

Are the stars that appear the brightest are also the closest?
No. The sun is very close to us so it seems very bright. There are a lot of stars that are much brighter than it, but are very far away. It is the same with the other stars. There are some very bright ones that are very far away and some dimmer ones that are closer to us. After the sun, the next brightest star is Proxima Centauri. The brightest star in the night sky that we see is Sirius, which is close, but much further away than Proxima Centauri.
What is the brightest visible planet in our sky at night?
The brightest visible planet in our night sky is Venus, often referred to as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star" due to its bright appearance at dawn or dusk. It shines brightly because of its thick, reflective cloud cover and its proximity to Earth. Other planets like Jupiter can also appear very bright, but Venus typically outshines them. Its brightness and visibility make it a prominent feature in the night sky.
What do the largest and brightest galaxies contain?
quasars.
How bright is Mars?
Depending on the positions of the planets, Mars could sometime be the brightest in the sky. The planet which becomes the brightest overall is Venus - when its in the right place it will be brighter than the brightest star, even visible before sunset/sunrise if you know where to look.
Is the sun the brightest planet in outer space?
No. The sun is a star, not a planet. It is by no means the brightest star either. It only appears so bright because it is much closer to us than any other star.
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.
