Explanation

Sirius (Dog Star) is the brightest star visible from Earth at night with an apparent magnitude of -1.46. The Sun is technically the brightest star but is visible during the day, not at night. The Moon is not a star but a satellite reflecting sunlight. Dhruva (Polaris/North Star) is important for navigation but not the brightest.
