The stars are not all at the same distance from us. Some stars are closer and some are farther away. The closer a star is to us, the brighter it will appear. Also, stars come in a variety of sizes and brightnesses. Larger stars usually shine more brightly than smaller stars do. So, how bright a star appears in the night sky depends on its size and how far away from us it is.

Stars' brightness is a function of two things: their distance from the earth, and their mass. The closer a star is the brighter it may be, as compared to others. The more massive a star is the brighter it will be.
