The night stars are farthest from the Earth. The other three objects -- Sun, Moon, and Mars -- are all within the Earth's solar system.
The hottest stars are the brightest stars, as their high temperatures cause them to emit large amounts of energy. These stars are not necessarily the farthest from Earth or the least massive. Our Sun is a relatively average star in terms of temperature and brightness.
The apparent westward shift of star patterns from night to night is due to Earth's rotation on its axis. As Earth rotates, the position of an observer on the planet changes in relation to the stars, causing them to appear to move across the sky in an eastward direction. This movement creates the illusion of stars shifting westward in the night sky.
Scientists have discovered at least 1000 exoplanets - planets that orbit other stars. So far, our telescopes aren't good enough to detect planets around distant stars, but the many planets discovered so far indicate that planets are probably circling a substantial percentage of the trillion-plus stars in our galaxy.

No, there are not moons or stars ON planet earth, but there are moons and stars around planet earth. == ==
Stars are not found in Earth's atmosphere as they are outside our planet. The stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere are atmospheric layers above the surface of the Earth where stars can be observed in the night sky, as they are part of the universe beyond our planet.

The earth is a planet. Stars are huge balls of hot gas that emit their own light . Stars burn hydrogen in their cores and have nuclear fusion going on inside. A planet does not have nuclear fusion. A planet is a world like the Earth. Unlike stars, planets get their light from the Sun. Source: The above information is a direct excerpt from "The Fact Train"

The night side of the Earth.

Planets are in a slightly different position each night with respect to the stars. The word planet is derived from a word meaning wanderer.
Since planets typically orbit their stars in elipses, there is a point in which it is closest, and another point in which it is farthest, from the star. The planet perihelion is when the planet is closest to the star it is orbiting. That is the most basic explanation. =)

Betelgeuse is not the farthest star from Earth. It is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, approximately 642.5 light years away from us. There are other stars much farther away from Earth in our galaxy.
