Working from the list given in the question ...
-- The Earth is closest of all items on the list.
-- The Moon is next.
-- Three of the solar system's planets are next, then the sun, then the rest of the planets.
-- The galaxy of which our solar system is a part is next, followed by all other galaxies.
-- The universe is defined as "everything ... all space and all time", so parts of the universe
are the nearest, middlest, and farthest things from us, and from anything else.

Do galaxies move towards us?
At least one galaxy is moving towards us: the M31 Andromeda galaxy. Most galaxies however are so far away from us that the distances between are affected by the metric expansion of the universe. They may move towards us relative to their local metric, but the distance between us and them still increases.
What the difference between universe and galaxies?
A universe is a very big realm of darkness with galaxies in it. and there are billions of galaxies in the universe! One of those galaxies is our solar system, and in that solar system is our planet. There probably is even more then just one univserse. O_o Well... Galaxies are within the universe and a universe is defintly bigger then a galaxy
What is between the galaxies?
There's nothing between the galaxies. It's just other galaxies that float around the universe.
Are most galaxies spread uniformly throughout the universe?
Yes, The Big Bang theory says all galaxies are moving outward and the universe is also expanding due to the explosion.
How are distances between galaxies measured?
Light Years
What is the connection between galaxies and the universe?
Like our galaxy contains billions of stars, the universe contains billions of galaxies.

How do must galaxies move as the universe grows?
all galaxies are constantly moving away from each other and are increasing in speed due to the lessening effect of gravity over the distances between galaxies and the theoretical dark energy which scientists have yet to prove the existance of
How do distances between planets solar systems galaxies and the universe compare?
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
What do you call all the galaxies and the space between them?
The universe
How galaxies are there in our universe?
Assuming the questioner meant "how many", the present estimate is: between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies, in the observable Universe.
What is the relationship between the expanding universe and the distances between stars and galaxies?
This is mostly theory, Galaxies are made of billions of stars. For some reason Galaxy's hold on to their stars. We do not really understand how galaxy's can yet hold their form like this. Our math so far has trouble with making sense of this. When comparing one galaxy to another, size becomes so large words are hard to describe the distance of space. There is an an incredible amount of space between everything out there. What is the distance between galaxies, why is it there, The expanding universe is trying to explain the growing spaces between galaxies yet the galaxies appear to stay bound to themselves.
