The brightest gadgets contained in the evening sky after the Moon are Venus (at the moment up contained in the pre-daybreak sky) and Jupiter, which has been seen contained in the evening for months, yet is now sinking low contained in the west after sundown. Jupiter is positioned in basic terms above Antares in Scorpius now.

The sun is almost a million times closer than any other star.
It therefore looks to be a million times bigger than any other star.
The brightness goes as the inverse square of the distance, so it appears nearly a trillion times brighter than the nearest other stars..

Because it's dramatically closer to us than any of the other stars. By billions of miles...
Hold a flashlight up to your face... and then get a friend to drive 7 miles away, and shine a flashlight that's twice as powerful at you...
... you tell me, which one seems brighter?
