Best Answer

A star is an object that radiates its own heat and light. A typical star is a superheated ball of hydrogen and helium that releases energy through nuclear fusion. The moon is much smaller and less massive than any star and is mostly made of rock. It does not produce its own light, but simply reflects light from the sun.
