Stars do twinkle--because of their immense distance, only one photon reaches us at a time, and if it is deflected by air currents, we see it blink. Satellites do not twinkle either, because they are even closer. Their brightness will also vary as the satellite changes its aspect to the sun as it orbits the earth. They do not have red and green blinking lights.
Satellites do move, quite quickly. Low orbit satellites orbit the earth every 90 minutes to 2 hours, so they will actually cross the sky in minutes. Geosynchronous satellites are about 150 times farther away (23,000 miles) than low-orbit satellites, and typically are not visible to the naked eye at all. Stars, of course, do not move appreciably.
In short, if you look up just for tonight:
Stars: twinkle and don't move
Satellites: don't twinkle and move like gangbusters.
Satellites move across the sky relative to the background stars which remain fixed relative to each other.
Within a short period of time, minutes, a satellite will move across the sky, whereas a star will appear to be stationary over the same period of time.
No, a moon is not a star. It is an object that orbits a planet or something else that is not a star. It can also be called a satellite.
Not a star: Planets such as Earth don't emit significant amounts of radiation. They don't generate energy through nuclear fusion, as the stars do.Not a satellite: Earth doesn't orbit another planet.
The Moon is a natural satellite and the Sun is a star. The Moon is not a star. Neither the Moon nor the Sun are planets.
The Sun is a star. A moon is a (moon) also known as a: satellite.
it sends signals to a satellite and tell where you are
No.:moon isnt a star...sun is a star...moon is a satellite...earth's satellite.
no it isnt but it isnt the teachers choice
The Moon is a moon. A natural satellite of the Earth.
Earth is a natural satellite of Sol, the star that we call the Sun.
No Miley isnt the biggest star there are diffrent celebrities the are the biggest star but not only her lol :)

Believe me sweetie he isnt.
Isnt it the American flag
who developed the first satellite tell the name of the humanwho developed the first satellite tell the name of the human

No, the moon is not a star. It's a satellite in the solar system.
