* The moon is our closest celestial neighbor, orbiting Earth at an average distance of about 238,900 miles (384,400 kilometers).

* The nearest stars are located light-years away. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers).

For example:

* The closest star to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.24 light-years away. That's about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers)!

So, the stars are incredibly far away compared to the moon.
