The moving bright lights may be aircraft, satellites, or meteors. The bright points that are not stars or planets may also be galaxies, asteroids, comets, or the moons of planets.

Only at night, and outside. Although Sao Paulo has the same problems with seeing stars as any city does; the city lights are so bright that you can only see the brighter stars.
The Sun's light actually reflects from the moon and reaches the Earth. That's why it's really bright, compared to a normal night, on full moons.
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
More stars are visible in villages than cities because of lower light pollution, allowing the night sky to shine brighter. City lights overpower the starlight, making it harder to see the stars clearly.
The bright lights next to the moon could be planets such as Venus or Jupiter, or even stars. Planets tend to appear brighter than stars and have a steady, non-twinkling light. The specific location and time of observation can help identify which celestial bodies are next to the moon.
The Moon appears bright at night because it reflects sunlight. Planets appear bright due to the reflection of sunlight off their surfaces, as well as their own internal heat that emits light. Additionally, planets are much closer to Earth than stars, making them appear brighter in the night sky.
There are to many stars in the sky ! you can't count them . only godcan
Actually planets are non luminous objects , so Planets are totally dim . It seems like they are quite bright , because they reflect the Sunlight ( Stars light ) falling on them . So , yes of course , they are far dimmer than stars .

Stars are not plants they are really hot gases.

The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
Ancients distinguished between planets and stars in the night sky by observing that planets move relative to the fixed background of stars, while stars maintain their positions.
Mars does not twinkle in the night sky as much as stars do, because planets are closer to Earth and appear as solid, bright discs of light. Twinkling occurs when starlight is distorted as it passes through Earth's atmosphere, but planets are large enough to not twinkle significantly.

Arcturus (in Bootes) and Antares (in Scorpius) are GIANT, reddish stars and are extremely bright - in fact, they are almost as bright as the planets.
