It's not, the stars are bigger but the are farther away so they look smaller. Note, there are collapsed stars of degenerate matter known as neutron stars that would be substantially smaller than our moon (maybe a quarter mile across), but have a mass closer to that of our sun. These are a special case of star.
White dwarf stars would also be fairly small, though not nearly as small as our moon. Closer to the size of earth.

Are stars bigger or the moon?

Our local star, the SUN, is very much bigger than the Moon. In fact all the total masses of all the planets and satellites, would fit easily inside the SUN, with space in the Sun remaining. Our Sun , is a very ordindary Star both by size and mass compared to other stars. Other stars appear to be so small, is because they are so far away (many light years).
How much larger is the sun compared to the moon?
the sun is 416 times bigger then the moon.
Why does the moon appear bigger than the stars?

The moon can appear bigger sometimes due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.
Is the moon big then the star?
The moon is bigger than most stars as seen from Earth, but it is much smaller than the majority of stars in the universe. Stars vary greatly in size, with some being hundreds or even thousands of times larger than the moon.
