Light needs a whole year to travel about 9.5 trillion kilometers, witch is one light year.

The Sun is the closest star to Earth. So more of its light rays hit the Earth. Rigel is more than 700 ly away from the earth so less of its sun rays hit Earth.

The sun is the closest star to Earth. The reason why we get all our light from the sun is because light rays spread out the more distance they travel. So more of the Sun's light rays land on earth therefore making Earth brighter than any other star could.

Our Sun appears to be the brightest in the galaxy, but it is not. It appears to be very bright because it is closer to Earth, which lets more light rays reach Earth.

light years are actually a distance not time and they need a whole year to travel.

Proxima Centauri ( 4.2 light years away) is the second closest star to earth. ( so we could probaly go there if we had to evacuate
earth )

One reason why the sun seems so much more brighter then any other stars. Is because Its distance since the sun is about 8 light minutes away. (which means it would take us about 8 minutes to know if the sun stopped glowing). Another reason why is because lots of the suns ray hit us. So if you went to another planet it would be much darker.

If a star is blue or white, it will be much hotter and brighter than a yellow star.

Light rays from the sun do not spread as far as rays from other stars because they reach Earth. That is why sun is brighter than any other star.

# data[].attributes.body
The sun is 8 light minutes away from Earth so we could see 8 minute old light from the sun. Never fresh new light.

Light from the sun travels for more than 8 minutes before it reaches Earth.
