How to use brightness in a sentence?

  1. Dave Durenberger:

But we can still measure how long it takes for a group of clouds to do a lap around the atmosphere ; as clouds come in and out of view they change the brightness of the planet, this lap time depends on two things : how fast the brown dwarf itself is spinning, and how fast the wind is blowing on top of that.

  4. Carol Raymond:

  5. William E. Channing:

    Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.
