Question Regarding the 'brightness' of our sun relative to other visable stars

[YOOR-un-us]

I can see you. Can you see me?
If an identical inhabited earth planet orbited every visable star, what % of them would be able to see our sun? (Approximately)
Thanks.

General speculation or something for class?

Human eye can see down to magnitude 6.5. (Curtis 1903)
There are 9,100 stars visible from Earth at magnitude 6.5 or brighter. (SIMBAD Astronomical database)

If you assume all stars are same intrinsic brightness as the Sun, which they aren't, then there are 9,100 star systems that could see us.

100%. If you can see their star, then they should be able to see our star. There might be a large difference in brightness, just like we see here, but still, they should be able to see us. You did say identical earth.

General speculation, thanks.

Very interesting. Thank you for this.

Haha yes, I see. I need to put more thought into my question. I'll be back, thank you.
