The light from Polaris is not reflected light from our own sun. It is a star and generates its own light. In the case of Polaris, it is a "Super Giant" star, meaning that it is very large compared to our sun (we tend to use our sun as a metric for measuring other things). It also generates 2,000 times more light than our sun. Tell me you had a brain cramp or something because this stuff is obvious.
So... how many jiggawatts is that?
Astronomical ignorance is bliss. I can find the North Star, Orion and a few others. Don't even have an astronomy merit badge. As my pappy used to say, Son, we can't take care of what we got, why do we need to go to the moon?
Moon, reflected light, brighter than any star, as to visual light on earth. See, this stuff is easy.
