Question

Does our sun have the highest absolute magnitude of a star in our galaxy?

Answer 1

I don't think so because the galaxy is huge. In our solar system i will say yes but not in the universe.

Answer 2

Nope..our Sun is just "average".

Answer 3

No. It has the highest apparant magnitude because it's the closest, but it's a pretty average star. It's yellow, which isn't nearly as bright as an A or B class star.

Answer 4

*O, and the sun is a class-G star. Not the brightest. Sirius is brighter.

Answer 5

Thanks, you guys! :)
