* The moon is our closest celestial neighbor, orbiting the Earth at an average distance of about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers).

* Stars, on the other hand, are massive balls of hot gas that emit their own light. Even the closest star to our sun, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.24 light-years away. A light-year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is about 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers).

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