Nearest is the Moon. Then the Sun (a star), and the stars.
However, some of the planets in the Solar System can be nearer to the Earth than the Sun , Notably, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
If the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia, the moon would likely be pulled closer to the Earth. This would result in changes to the moon's orbit and potentially lead to it eventually crashing into the Earth. The increased gravitational force would also affect tides on Earth and could have significant impacts on the Earth-moon system.
The gravitational pull of an object depends on its mass and distance. Although the sun is much more massive than the moon, it is also much farther away from Earth. The moon's closer proximity results in a stronger gravitational pull than the sun's.
If the moon were covered with water, tidal effects by Earth would result in two tidal bulges. This is because the gravitational pull of Earth on the water would create one bulge facing towards the Earth and another bulge on the opposite side. The water levels on the moon itself would remain relatively constant.
Earth exerts a non-contact force on the moon through gravity. This force keeps the moon in orbit around Earth and influences its motion.
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
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.
The moon is many times closer to the Earth than the stars are.
The moon appears bigger than stars because it is much closer to Earth. Stars are actually much larger than the moon, but their distance from us makes them appear as small points of light in the sky.
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.

It is closer to the Earth
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
Stars appear smaller than the moon because they are much farther away from Earth compared to the moon. The moon is relatively close to us, which is why it appears larger in the sky. Additionally, the brightness of the moon makes it more visible and noticeable compared to the dim light of stars.
