The Moon is pretty bright, and when it’s full has a magnitude of about -12.7. That’s bright enough to read by! But the Sun is way, way brighter. It’s magnitude is a whopping -26.7. How much brighter is that?
Well, it’s 2.5 power to the(-12.7 – (-26.7)) = 2.5¹⁴ = 400,000.
In other words, the Sun is 400,000 times brighter than the full Moon!
