Why aren't stars between Earth and the moon?
A star is too large to fit between the earth and the moon and/or so massive that it would tear apart the earth and moon before it got there. If there were a star between the earth and the moon, there would be nobody around to know it.
Why are stars not as bright as the moon?
The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.
Would a moon constellation map be helpful on the moon?
Using a star map could potentially be useful as we used the stars to navigate in the times before advanced technology. Since the distance between the Earth and the moon is tiny compared to the distance between stars the constellations you see from the moon are exactly the same ones you see from Earth.
The Moon is between Earth and the Sun?
The moon is revolving around Earth, so sometimes the Moon is between the Sun and Earth and Earth is between the moon and sun.
Why are stars brighter when thay are seen from the moon?
Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to obscure the view of the stars.

Our sun is a star so you tell me.
Why do stars planets and moons do not collide it self?
The moon is many times closer to the Earth than the stars are.
Do the stars orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
What is the different between earth and the moon?
There are many differences between the Earth and Moon. For instance, the Earth is a planet, while the Moon is a satellite. Also, the Earth is occupied, while the Moon is unoccupied. Finally, things grow on the Earth, but they do not grow on the moon.
Is the sun moon and stars on the surface or beneath the earth?
Neither. The sun, moon, and stars are all well outside the Earth

Why is it that stars twinkle for earth but not from the moon?
This is because the Earth's atmosphere has many layers which causes the rays of light coming from the stars to refract. This gives the effect that stars twinkle. The air around the moon does not have layers so the rays from the stars do not refract, and thus do not twinkle.
Why is there sometimes just a moon no stars?
Different constellations, groupings of stars, are visible during different points in the earth's elliptical cycle. So, on some nights, the angles between the stars and earth do not allow for a good view of certain constellations. Another factor in visibility of cosmic structures is the fact that the moon is considerably larger and closer than many stars. Light pollution also accounts for obscuring the view of many stars and constellations.
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
Why does the moon seem so big compared to the stars?
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
