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.
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.
The star that appears close to the moon can vary depending on the time and location. However, some commonly seen stars near the moon include Aldebaran, Spica, and Regulus. These stars are often visible in the vicinity of the moon during its monthly journey across the night sky.
The star next to the moon is likely to be a planet, most commonly Venus or Jupiter. Stars do not typically appear as close to the moon as planets do.
The planet that often appears close to the crescent moon is Venus, known as the "evening star." However, depending on the time of year and your location, other planets or stars may also be visible near the moon.
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
The moon is incredibly small as compared to any stars that can be seen in the sky, although because the moon is so close to Earth, it looks large.

Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
the moon and the stars are made out of moisture and dust

stars are galaxies away from us and the moon isn't
Stars appear smaller than the moon because they are much farther away from Earth compared to the moon. The moon is relatively close to us, which is why it appears larger in the sky. Additionally, the brightness of the moon makes it more visible and noticeable compared to the dim light of stars.
Stars near the Moon are not planets. Planets in our solar system, such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, are sometimes visible near the Moon depending on their position in their orbits, but they are not stars. Stars are celestial objects that generate their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets do not emit light but instead reflect light from the Sun.
