Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
The sun is the largest in size compared to the moon and Earth. It has a diameter about 109 times that of Earth and is about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon is.
The Earth and the Moon are an average of 384,000 kilometers apart. The Sun is always more than 350 times farther from either the Earth or the Moon, and usually more than 400 times as far. The Earth-Moon system orbits about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. The Earth-Moon distance is between 362,570 and 405,410 kilometers. The Moon-Sun distance is between and 146,688,000 and 152,508,000 kilometers.

The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
The sun is about 390 times farther from earth than the moon is.

No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.

Since the Moon accompanies Earth, it basically has the same distance to the Sun as Earth does. Sometimes a bit closer, sometimes a bit farther, but this difference is insignificant. The Earth - and therefore the Moon as well - is closer to the Sun than Mars.
The Earth travels 365.25 times farther than the moon in one revolution. The moon's revolution around the Earth takes only one day; the Earth's revolution around the Sun takes 365.25 days.
The moon appears bigger than the sun when viewed from Earth because it is much closer to us. The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also about 400 times closer to Earth, which creates the illusion of them appearing to be the same size in the sky.
