Why are some stars brighter than other stars?

• All stars have the same brightness in space.

• Some stars are brighter than others because they are closer to us.

• All stars are equally distant from us and our atmosphere changes their brightness

Why can't we generally see other stars in the sky during the day?

• Since the sun is the closest star and therefore the brightest, it then blocks other stars from being seen on earth during the day.

• The sun has special gases that make other stars invisible in the sky during the day.
