No the moon is a piece of the earth that broke off when another planet collided with earth and stayed in orbit with the planet. The moons light is a reflection of the suns light. Stars are gigantic balls of gas that are burning up million, billion light years awhile.
Astronology is the study of the moon, stars and other objects in space.
The Sun is a star. A moon is a (moon) also known as a: satellite.
Yes, nearby stars generally have larger parallax angles than distant stars. Parallax is the apparent shift in the position of a star when observed from different points in Earth's orbit around the Sun. The closer a star is to Earth, the greater the angle of this shift, making it easier to measure compared to more distant stars, which exhibit much smaller angles due to their greater distances.
No. A constellation is an arrangement of stars. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth.
It doesn't mean anything. There are always stars next to the Moon. Actually the stars are much farther away, but the stars that happen to be in the same direction seem to be next to the Moon.It doesn't mean anything. There are always stars next to the Moon.

You will find stars in every direction - both near the Moon, and in other directions. They are not really "near" the Moon; they just happen to be in the same direction.
No. Stars twinkle on Earth because the light beams have to enter the atmosphere, altering the brightness of the star by the second. Since the moon really doesn't have a atmosphere, stars seen from there wouldn't twinkle.
Stars
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
the moon and the stars are made out of moisture and dust
no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna
stars are galaxies away from us and the moon isn't
the stars nearest Earth
I don't think any one landed on the moon because on the show when they landed their were no stars and the flag was blowing and their is no air in space
No. It's really an "optical illusion". See Link for full explanation
Different constellations, groupings of stars, are visible during different points in the earth's elliptical cycle. So, on some nights, the angles between the stars and earth do not allow for a good view of certain constellations. Another factor in visibility of cosmic structures is the fact that the moon is considerably larger and closer than many stars. Light pollution also accounts for obscuring the view of many stars and constellations.
No, the moon is closer to Earth than the stars. The stars we see in the night sky are typically much farther away than the moon.
