What is a situation involving apparent and absolute brightness while riding in a car?

While riding in a car at night, you might notice the apparent brightness of streetlights outside as you approach them, making them seem brighter. However, the absolute brightness of those streetlights remains constant regardless of your distance. As you pass by, their apparent brightness decreases, illustrating how perception changes with distance while the actual light output stays the same. This contrast highlights the difference between how we perceive brightness based on our proximity versus the true luminosity of the light source.
