With respect to size and mass, the Sun is approximately in the percentile 85 or 90 - meaning that 85-90% of stars are smaller and less massive than the Sun. So, most stars are smaller, less massive (and therefore less luminous) than our Sun, but there are still quite a lot that are larger - and in many cases, MUCH larger.The total lifetime of our Sun is estimated to be about 10 billion years; for comparison, the most massive stars have a lifetime of only a few million years, while the smallest red dwarves can have a lifetime of several trillion years.
The sun has an absolute magnitude of 4.83 which places it at the brightest 15% of stars in the Milky Way. Its surface temperature is approx 5778 K, which is near average for a main sequence star.
The Sun's brightness and mass is larger than the majority of stars - its brightness is probably somewhere in the percentile 85 or 90.In the case of surface temperatures, since most stars are red dwarves, and those are cooler than our Sun, here, too, the Sun is above-average. However, I am not so sure about percentiles in this case.
The Sun is approximately around percentile 85 or 90 with regards to mass and size (meaning, that percentage of other stars are smaller, or less massive); it would probably be around that same percentile for temprature and brightness as well.
Since smaller and dimmer stars last longer, the Sun (like other relatively bright stars) is on the LOW end; probably around percentile 10-15.
The sun's absolute brightness is about average compared to most other stars
The sun is actually not a very bright star. It is only a yellow which is the 3rd or 4th brightest type of star.
There is nothing that makes the Sun any different from millions of other stars. Its size, mass, brightness and spectrum are all very average.
The main sequence is a map of star brightness against their temperature. Stars that lie on the main sequence in the top left are the high mass stars. Cooler, smaller stars lie near the line at the lower right.

You can't compare WEIGHT with MASS - those two are used to measure quite different things. It doesn't make sense to say that they are the same, or that they are different. You can only compare mass with mass, or weight with weight.
That's still uncertain, but of those stars which has been discovered, it's the "Eta Carina Star" which has the brightness of 4,7 million suns (sun = the star u see in the sky in the middle of the day).
A star's magnitude is assosiated with its surface area/size. The reason Red giants may be brighter than those within the same colou (B-V), is simply due to the fact that it is much larger. (which results in an increased magnitude/brightness/luminosity.)
-- If the bulbs are in parallel, then the addition of a bulb has no effect on the brightness of those that were there before. -- If the bulbs are in series, then the addition of a bulb causes the brightness of those that were there before to decrease. (And I wasn't even there when you did the experiment !)
The H-R diagram graphs total brightness versus surface temperature (related to color); by itself, it doesn't tell you where those two things come from.The brightness of a star depends on its mass, and on where it is in its development history.

Most credible automobile insurance companies should compare rates with other accredited automobile insurance companies, so be a little wary of those who don't. Allstate, Geico, and State Farm are among those who compare.
todays product is high tech compare to the other ten years ago
You can compare those at ebay.com
I'll be happy to help you, but in order for me to compare the areas of those triangles, you have to tell me the areas of those triangles.
You can check the website of best buy where you can select different models of Garmin GPS and compare the features available with in those models along with their prices.
There are quite a few companies to contact and compare auto insurance quotes, some of those being Progressive and Geico. Farmers and State Farm are a couple of the other places to compare quotes for auto insurance.
-- Repeat the experiment. If you have the time and money, then five or ten repetitions is an even better idea. -- Compare your results with those of other experimenters. -- Compare your results with the predictions of theory.
The TV rating of the television network CBS compare pretty well to those of it's competitors, as it is a popular television station for news compared to other news channels, but is not as popular as channels that show popular new shows.
Well, there's typically two types of materials-Those with positive temperature coefficient and those with negative temperature coefficient. Positive temperature coefficient are those whose resistance increases as temperature increases. Negative temperature cofficient are those whose resistance decrease when the temperature increase. There are however some alloys such as Manganin& Constantan whose resistance is not affected by temperature
