Is the brightness of a star it's flux?

I saw an mcq which said that the brightness depends on the distance to the star and the luminosity so I'm asking to confirm.

Luminosity is the total power output of a star. Think power = intensity x area. Intensity or "flux" is basically the power at a certain spherical distance away.
So the sun will have an intensity of a massive figure, but here on earth the intensity is much less as it decreases by 4πr^2

Sorry but is that a no then?

could you clarify what mcq means, im confused. but yes, intensity does depend on distance and luminosity

Multiple choice question
So basically intensity, flux and brightness are all different words defining the same thing, right?

Well yes, but actually no.
nah im memeing they are all the same basically.

Are you sure?

fairly, yes, although its a fine detail and one that examiners will probably give you marks for either one. Just make sure you dont mix up luminosity and intensity.

I would say “brightness” is related to the flux. See the link(s) below.

However, at A level, we tend to take a simplified view:

The brightness b of a star:

where L is the luminosity of a star is the amount of energy in joules it actually radiates per second (that is, its power).

In Edexcel there's
$F= \dfrac{L}{4 \pi d^2 }$
So the flux is the brightness right?

"Yes". But don't take it beyond A level.
