What came first the sun the moon or the stars?

Around 400 million years after the Big Bang, the first stars were formed, comprising of nothing but hydrogen and helium. No other elements existed (apart from small amounts of lithium). These stars created the first 26 elements up to iron via nucleosynthesis in the stars core, and due to the size of the stars, much more massive than stars today, they would explode in a supernova, creating all elements heavier than iron. So the star came first. Our Sun is a second but more than likely third generation star based on the metallicity of it's elements (i.e those metals created in earlier supernova explosions) So the Sun came second. Based around the Sun's initial creation, interstellar medium would collect around it and via accretion, coalesce to form the planets. During the formation of these planets a Mars sized planet collided with Earth ejecting enough material to form the Moon. So the Moon is third or last. ---------------------------------- Personally, I feel that the Stars came first as they are the main component of the Universe. (Although theoritcally, stars are suns from other galaxy's so the sun and stars is a chicken and egg situation) Then the sun hence the centre of a galaxy and finally the moon as it is the 'satellite' of the earth.


Why is stars smaller than the sun?

First, the sun IS a star. And stars in the sky that we see might seen tiny but if you get close...they can be HUGE in size...even bigger that the sun. You might think the sun in big..wait until you check you VY Canis Majoris


Is the sun the hottest among all-stars?

No, the sun is not the hottest of all stars. There are stars that are up to 7 times hotter than the sun.


Why the moon stars and sun change positions in the sky?

First of all, the stars don't move. The Earth moves around the Sun. The moon moves around the Earth and the whole SOLAR SYSTEM is moving.


Do stars revolve around the sun?

No, stars do not revolve around the Sun. The Sun is just one of the billions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, and stars have their own independent motion through the galaxy. The Sun's gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, but it does not control the motion of other stars.

Is the sun the first star made?

No, the sun is not the first star made. The sun is a relatively young star in the universe, formed billions of years after the first stars. The first stars in the universe were primarily made of hydrogen and helium.

The 'Big Bang' was the start of our universe, so before this event, there was nothing (although some scientists believe there may be other universes). So, the stars, including our sun, came later, and then the planets.
