No, the sun and the moon are not both stars. Our Sun is known as a Main Sequence star, or just an average sized star. Our moon is a planetary satellite, but are kept as moons for short. A star is classified if it is bright and burns hydrogen and helium gas, while a moon, or planetary satellite, are classified when a smaller rocky object (the moon) orbits a planet.
