Question

A student learns that the sun is classified as a medium-size star and that many stars are much bigger and brighter. However, the student observes that other stars look very dim, even through a telescope. Why do other stars look much dimmer than the sun?.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 factors :

1. distance : the farther away the dimmer the star appears, even if it is actually brighter than the sun.

2. the basic size and brightness of the other star. as the sum is a medium-sized star, it means that there are also many stars that are smaller and/or dimmer than our sun.
