Default Magnitude question

Pėrhaps a stupid question for some people but i don't know a lot about
astronomy but i'm interessted in it so i would like to learn more about it.
With cartes du ciel i can see what stars and planets there are and when and
when i look at the information of the stars i get the magnitude. I know that
it has something to do with the strength of the light. My question is: witch
value do i need to see a star? I'd love to know it because otherwise i don't
know if the star if visible for the eye or not.
