The Moon is the closest to my planet called Earth, followed by the Sun and then Uranus.
That would be at the moment of the New Moon closest to perihelion, which happens to be the one closest to New Years day or January 2. The moon is then in between the Earth and sun, while the Earth/Moon system is closest to the sun.
A moon, by definition, is not a planet. The closest planet to our sun is Mercury, followed by Venus and the Earth, then Mars.
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
No. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The moon is not a planet and is the closest object in space to Earth.
No. In fact, when the moon is closest to the sun each month, we can't see it at all.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
The closest star to the moon is the Sun, of course. But if you mean looking up into the night sky, there would be different stars appearing next to the moon all the time, because the earth is moving and the moon is moving and the stars are unbelievably far away.
No, Earth's Moon it is the closest - since Mercury and Venus have no moons.

The moon is not a star. It is a large ball of rock that orbits Earth as a satellite. A star is a huge ball of burning gas. Our star is called The Sun.
The planet closest to the sun is called Mercury.
