The moon is the closest of these to the earth. It is 400 times closer to the earth than the sun, the second closest thing to the earth from your list. The third would be other stars besides our sun. The next nearest star (Proxima Centauri) is about 272 thousand times as far from earth as our sun is.

Those stars may or may not be arranged in constellations, which are simply configurations of stars that appear to form objects (asterisms) in our sky.
