A nova is a star that suddenly increases in brightness.
A star the size of our Sun or smaller is too small to become a "Nova", so we can expect that the original brightness of a "nova" star is probably brighter than the Sun; possibly a lot brighter.
The star that suddenly flares and then fades away is known as a "flaring star" or a "flare star". These stars experience temporary increases in brightness due to magnetic activity on their surfaces, before returning to their normal luminosity. This phenomenon is common in red dwarfs and other types of variable stars.
If the star is larger than about 5 times the size of our Sun, a black hole can form from the core of the exploded star
For the same real brightness, at a larger distance it would look less bright. On the other hand, you may have two stars that look like they are the same brightness, but one might be million times brighter (in real brightness) than the other - which would be compensated by the fact that the brighter star is a thousand times farther away.

the brightness of a star
The measure of a star's brightness is its magnitude. A star's brightness as it appears from Earth is called its Apparent Magnitude.Star's brightness is measured by there magnitude.
photographs use to measure the brightness of a star
The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".

There is no purpose of a star's brightness. They just exist and shine.
An apparent brightness is the brightness of a star as measured by an observer.

A nova is basically an explosion of a star, increasing its brightness by 100-1000 times. Novas occur by the pushing upward and outward of fusing layers of the star, starting with hydrogen.
