Use the table below to answer the following question. Star Distance from Earth Sun 15.8 x 10-6 light years Proxima Centauri 4.2 light years Epsilon Eridani 10.5 light years Procyon 11.4 light years Which of the following most likely appears brightest from Earth?

Sun most likely appears brightest from the Earth.

Explanation:

The sun, a star that seems bigger and brighter since it is smaller than other stars. Through their distance of separation from Earth, stars vary greatly. A star's apparent light itself can't be used to measure its distance from Earth. It is possible to assign the apparent brightness of Sirius A to both its inherent luminosity, 20 times that of the Sun, and its proximity.

For its situation in the Canis Major constellation, the brightest star in sky is Sirius, also recognized as "Dog Star" or, more formally, Alpha Canis Majoris. Sirius is a binary star ruled by Sirius A, a luminous principal pattern star with an obvious magnitude of - 1.46.
