The Sun is much, much closer to the Earth than any other star - eight light minutes vs. four light years for the next nearest star.
Our Sun appears brighter than Alpha Centauri B because of its proximity to our point of view. We are much closer to our Sun then any other star which means that our Sun will be much brighter then everything else in the sky.
The Sun and the Moon are the only celestial objects that appear brighter in the sky than Venus.
Because it's closer, like the moon
The brightness of a star depends not just on its surface temperature, but also on its size and distance from Earth. While Rigel is hotter than the Sun, it is also a much larger and more luminous star. Therefore, even though the Sun is cooler than Rigel, it appears brighter to us because it is much closer and has a larger luminosity due to its size.
I'm not too sure what other people think. I know that the Sun shines brighter than Sirius.

no.The sun is
The Sun is the closest star to Earth, so it appears much brighter than other, more distant stars.The Sun is eight light-MINUTES away from the Earth. The NEAREST other star is 250,000 times further away.
Brightness is related to distance. However, from the same distance, an O class star is much much brighter than a M class star. As a comparison, an O class star would appear about 100,000 times brighter than our Sun, whereas a M class star could appear 0.0017 dimmer than our Sun, if the Sun was replaced with each star.
Most stars are dim red dwarfs which we cannot see. Most of the stars we can see actually ARE brighter than our sun. From our perspective, because we are so close to it, the sun appears big, the same reason a 100 watt light bulb in the same room appears brighter than stadium lights four miles away.
There is no "why" because they don't.
No, a welder is not brighter than the sun. The sun is a star and emits much more light and energy than any welding process.
a Supergiant
The sun appears brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us than any other star. The intensity of light we receive from a star decreases with distance, so stars farther away appear dimmer. Additionally, the sun is a relatively hot and luminous star compared to many others, further contributing to its brightness.
Yes, the sun s brighter than most stars, but it is dimmer than most of the stars we can see with our naked eye.
Not all stars have the same size and the same energy output, which may lead to differences in how we see them from earth. With the sun however, the reason is that the sun is much closer to us than any other star.
You know, VV cephie is orange, sun is yellow and yellow is brighter than orange and the brighter the star is, the hotter it gets. So sun is hotter than VV cephie.
