Yes and no. This question is almost impossible to answer. Stars that you see in the night sky are not as small as they appear.

How bigger is the moon compared with the stars?

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.
