luckycatfay, the question was “what is the brightest star in the sky” not the brightest in the night sky. Therefore the answer should be the sun

There is a method in astronomy of ranking stars and their brightness compared with each other. Our sun does not rank as very bright. Has to do with the size and age of the star too.😊

The sun just seems brighter because it's close. For example, if you took two radio speakers, put one 5ft away from you at a volume of 5/10 on the dial, and the second at full 10/10 but it's say 30 ft away from you, the 2nd speaker is still louder, but the one closer would seem louder. I'm far from a scientist just the way I thought about it.

pleiadianphanter, that's because we see our star during the day sky , not during the night sky....

I think it has to be regarding the stars we can see from earth distance in a clear night. Obviously, dismissing our sun

Can Sirius be seen in the Southern hemisphere? If not then the answer might be wrong.

I used double chance here because I dunno if it's Betelgeuse or Sirius.
Gintaras
Hiqq, absolutely. The question should mention the night sky.

Our Sun is just closer to the Earth. I get how it might not be the brightest. However, might there be other stars in the Universe brighter than Sirious?

thebigtabu 'brightest star in the sky' . The moon and planets are not stars.
Player #4250921
Player #3366575, I know, right. The way the question is written is very earth centric.
Gary
It's a serious star...lol
Player #3366575
luckycatfay, could a different point in space derive a varied answer?
Player #3366575
millwallmarty, aren't we being subjective?
Laudy Miss Claudy
