Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 06, 2022

There is one star, Sherman, that’s much brighter than two headlights: the sun.

And then there’s C. B.’s head.

The stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas.

Some cars have 4 headlights, Charlie Brown!

You’re not too bright, eh CB? :D

2 headlights on earth…couple billion stars in the sky…IN THE SKY wins…hands down…

And they shine right in your face

And many people drive with their brights on.

The car’s win. Especially if they’re coming at you!

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes don’t let the moon take your heart.

I can’t drive at night anymore because I think the new LED lights on cars outshine the sun.

“The mighty light of 10,000 suns; challenges infinity, and is soon gone.”

Everyone knows the night sky is just made by the government pulling a giant sheet of dark paper over the sun every night! And pinpricks through the paper cause the stars; therefore CB is correct!

Brightness is relative to distance so it’s redundant until you have that parameter, even among the stars, hence the need for a measure called Absolute brightness, which means how bright would this star look at a distance of 10 parsecs (about 32 LY) then you can make comparisons, the sun would be about magnitude 5, you would need to be at a pretty dark place to see it.

A star. That’s why we (usually) don’t need headlights during the day.

Binary star systems are very plentiful in the galaxy.

Wrong, it was a trick question! From here the planet Venus is brighter than anything up in the sky!
