Generally speaking, the stars do. The planets and moons reflect light back from the sun. The earth does give off some light though, in the form of artificial lighting around cities and built up areas.

How is moon different than a planet?

The Moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet, while a planet is a celestial body that orbits a star. Moons do not emit their own light but rather reflect the light of the star they orbit, while planets do not orbit other astronomical bodies but instead orbit stars. Additionally, planets are larger than moons and can be composed of a variety of materials.

Why is the sun is a star but the moon is not?

Because the moon is satelite. The sun (or any stars) don't orbit the earth. The moon does. A star is a body that involves a Nuclear reaction that emits heat, light, and multiple forms of other Electromagnetic Radiation. Planets and Moons do not have such reactions and therefore only reflect light from other bodies.
