The stars twinkle because they're balls of gas burning and making their own light, just like the sun. The moon is a solid rock and it doesn't make it's own light. The light from the sun reflects on the moon and that's why we see it.
No, stars in the night sky are not like the moon. Stars are distant suns that emit their light, while the moon reflects the light of the sun. Stars appear as small points of light, whereas the moon is a larger, closer celestial body that can be seen in different phases.
Stars can't be seen from the surface of the moon during the daytime because the brightness of the sun overwhelms the faint light of the stars. In the lunar night, stars can be seen, but due to the lack of a significant atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light, they appear much brighter and can make it difficult to see fainter stars.
Stars appear brighter when seen from the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to scatter or absorb light. This allows starlight to pass through to our eyes without interference, making them appear brighter compared to when seen from Earth.
No, the moon's surface is too reflective when the light is shining, and therefore the sun's light reflected from the moon's surface blocks any stars from being visible from the surface of the moon by either eye or camera.
Stars appear to twinkle or flicker in the night sky due to the Earth's atmosphere causing the light from the stars to refract, creating a twinkling effect. This phenomenon is more noticeable when stars are low on the horizon, as the light passes through a greater thickness of the atmosphere. All stars can appear to "wink" or twinkle as seen from Earth.
Stars are not twinkling really. It is because of the atmosphere of the earth due to which they appear twinkling. However if they are seen from above the atmosphere of earth then they appear stationary.

The brighter the Moon (closer to full) the fewer stars that can be seen due to the Moon 'blinding' observers.
There's only one difference between the sky seen from the Earth and the sky seen from the moon. The sky seen from the Earth has a moon in it, and the sky seen from the moon has an Earth in it. Other than that, exactly the same objects in the same patterns are seen from both places.
They are too dim to be seen because of all the light the moon reflects.
The moon is incredibly small as compared to any stars that can be seen in the sky, although because the moon is so close to Earth, it looks large.
No, the moon's surface is too reflective when the light is shining, and therefore the sun's light reflected from the moon's surface blocks any stars from being visible from the surface of the moon by either eye or camera.
Yes. Ever seen the Sun, the Moon, or the stars?
Moon, planets, stars, now and then a comet.
