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.
No, the North Star (Polaris) is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while Polaris is about 434 light-years away.
The Earth and the Moon are an average of 384,000 kilometers apart. The Sun is always more than 350 times farther from either the Earth or the Moon, and usually more than 400 times as far. The Earth-Moon system orbits about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. The Earth-Moon distance is between 362,570 and 405,410 kilometers. The Moon-Sun distance is between and 146,688,000 and 152,508,000 kilometers.
Yes, stars are much farther away from Earth than the moon. The moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while the closest star to Earth (Proxima Centauri) is about 4.24 light years away, which is significantly farther.
The moon appears smaller when viewed from Earth because it is much farther away than it seems. Its distance causes it to appear smaller in comparison to objects on Earth.
Not much further than it is from yours.

Mars is tremendously farther away from the Earth than the moon is.
Dear Inquirer, The difference between the distance of Earth to the Moon (238,857 miles), and Earth to Jupiter (390,682,810 - 576,682,810 miles) is anywhere from: 390,449,953 mi (closest) to 576,443,953 mi (farthest apart) Signed, -CosmicShaman419

No. The sun's gravity is much stronger than that of Earth or the moon. However, its effect on the tides is less than that of the moon because it is much farther away. Tidal forces diminish with distance more quickly than the force exerted by gravity.
No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
