No, the moon is somtimes far enough from the Earth that its angular size is smaller than the sun.

Why aren't stars blurry in the night sky?
Stars are very far away. Eyes just haven't got enough angular resolution. You can help it artificially with technology. Larger the thing, better the angular resolution.
Is the shadow of the moon always long enough to reach the Earth?
Yes, the shadow of the moon is always long enough to to reach the earth. In fact the shadow is long enough to reach the earths core.
Why does the space shuttle fly in the thermosphere?
it doesn't necessarily fly, its in a constant angular free fall around the planet which is what being in orbit means. But if you're asking why the space shuttle stays in the thermosphere, the answer would be because thats the layer of the earth's atmosphere where a space shuttle's velocity is enough to counteract the earth's gravitational pull, creating an angular free fall as mentioned earlier.
What keeps planets in orbit in your solar system?
Well, they are being attracted to the sun, but orbit fast enough that they don't fall into the Sun.
Do stars shine forever?
there are new ones every day being born..others are fizzling out.its an ongoing process that i think,will continue on and on.. No...altho the light you see will last for hundreds of years after the star is gone...nothing keeps it's form forever....

Could enough weight be added to a spinning object to stop it completely?
only earth. __________________ No. Adding weight will slow it down, but the angular momentum would be preserved. In order to stop it completely, some opposite force would need to be exerted to neutralize the angular momentum.
Is there always enough life jackets on a ferry?
Most of the time its suppose to be enough for the passengers safety always ask the people to find out
What is the centripetal acceleration of a stone with a radius of 0.75 meters and a height of 1.5 meters and travels a horizontal distance of 4 meters?
I don't think you have enough information. Here are two formulae to calculate centripetal acceleration: a = v2 / r a = omega2 x r (omega is the angular speed, in radians per second) Basically, apart from the radius you also need to know (or have enough information to calculate) the speed (or equivalently, the angular speed).

One time you could see the space station during orbit Yes light reflection Does this not always happen?
If it is dark enough and the International Space Station is high enough, you will clearly see it reflecting sunlight towards Earth. See the related question below.
