stars i think the moon is approximately 23500 miles while the nearest star(our sun)is approx 93 million miles away.So the moon is quite close. earth.....moon.................................................................................................................................................sun
The moon.
The sun is about 390 times farther from earth than the moon is.
And the next nearest star after that is about 109 million times
as far from earth as the moon is.
The stars. It takes light (at a speed of 300,000 km/second) a little over a second to come from the Moon to Earth. At the same speed, it takes light about 4.2 years to reach us from the nearest star (excluding the Sun), called Proxima Centauri.
The sun is further from earth than the moon.
The moon is about 250,000 miles from earth, while the sun, at about 93 million miles, is much further.
The sun is about 390 times as far from earth as the moon is.
Pick any distance from (93 million miles for our Sun) 4.2 light years to over 13.2 billion light years.
Well the closest star to the moon is the Sun.......
No body knows the furthest star from the moon.
I am assuming you worded this question correctly?
The sun is the nearest star. The next nearest one after the sun is
about 278,000 times as far from us as the sun is.
Apogee

If you are referring to Earth, the sun is furthest at the summer solstice (June 21st).
Perihelion - Aphelion is when the Earth is furthest from the Sun.
Easily. The furthest distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 406,000 km. So the diameter of the orbit is around 812,000 km. The diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000 km. So the orbit of the Moon would fit inside the Sun with room to space.

Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
Moon is closest (¼ million miles), then the Sun (93 million miles), then the stars are the furthest (trillions of miles).
An eclipse is when three items in space are in a line. So on earth there is an eclipse when it is furthest away and then is moon and then is sun - so moon is in the middle and is blocking out the sun. If on moon there is eclipse when earth is in front of sun. Or on other planets and their moons, and so on.

The point in the Moon's orbit where it is furthest from the Earth is called the apogee.

The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
