No. The stars are much farther away than the moon is. For reference, it takes a little more than a second for light to reach us from the moon. The light from the nearest star (other than the sun) takes more than 4 years to reach us.

Why are stars not as bright as the moon?
The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.
Which stars near the moon are planets?
There are seven of them in our solar system. They all travel in a plane close to the plane the Moon travels in. Different times of the year, has different planets "near the Moon".
Is the moon brighter than the stars?
no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna
