What are the stars in the Cassiopeia, the constellation?

if you know, which one is the brightest star?What are the stars in the Cassiopeia, the constellation?Alpha Cassiopeia (Shedar) Magnitude 2.2

Beta Cassiopeia (Caph) Magnitude 2.3

Gamma Cassiopeia (Gamma) Magnitude 2.5



Those are the brightest three, a lower number in magnitued is a brighter star. These are "apparent" magnitudes (how bright they look from earth, and not how much light they produce, since light gets fainter by the square of the distance, and they are not all the same distance from us).



So, from earth, Shedar is Cassiopeia's brightest star.
