14 What inference can you make about the relationship between the distance in light years of each star from Earth and its apparent brightness? COL LA F. The closer the star is to the Earth the brighter it appears in the sky. G. Stars that are larger appear brighter in the sky as seen from Earth. H. A star's brightness is not only dependent on its distance from Earth. ei sonT a I. Alpha Centauri is second closest so it should be the second brightest.
