The Stars
The Earth came third and moon came second
Actually, yes the stars did come first, since matter had combined from the big bang, but the Earth and Moon are tied, since no one knows how the moon formed, we cannot assume what time they appeared.

Is the moon a constellation?
No. A constellation is an arrangement of stars. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth.
What might an earth scientist study that is not on earth?
The geology of the Moon and the rock planets like Mars.
How many days it takes for the moon to revolve around the earth?
Relative to the background stars, the moon takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes to orbit the earth..
Why does the moon stars and planets change position during a night?
Because the Earth is rotating :D
What direction will the moon rise from in Pittsburgh tonight?
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
How many stars are between the earth and the moon?
There are no stars between the earth and the moon. ** If there were, Earth would be as barren and lifeless as Mercury.
What came first the sun moon or earth?
Sun first, then the earth and moon formed at the same time around 4.65ga (billions of years ago) when a large moon-sized planet collided with the proto-earth/moon system.
Why does the moon stars and sun change positions in the sky?
First of all, the stars don't move. The Earth moves around the Sun. The moon moves around the Earth and the whole SOLAR SYSTEM is moving.

Do the stars orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
What came first the sun the moon or the stars?
Around 400 million years after the Big Bang, the first stars were formed, comprising of nothing but hydrogen and helium. No other elements existed (apart from small amounts of lithium). These stars created the first 26 elements up to iron via nucleosynthesis in the stars core, and due to the size of the stars, much more massive than stars today, they would explode in a supernova, creating all elements heavier than iron. So the star came first. Our Sun is a second but more than likely third generation star based on the metallicity of it's elements (i.e those metals created in earlier supernova explosions) So the Sun came second. Based around the Sun's initial creation, interstellar medium would collect around it and via accretion, coalesce to form the planets. During the formation of these planets a Mars sized planet collided with Earth ejecting enough material to form the Moon. So the Moon is third or last. ---------------------------------- Personally, I feel that the Stars came first as they are the main component of the Universe. (Although theoritcally, stars are suns from other galaxy's so the sun and stars is a chicken and egg situation) Then the sun hence the centre of a galaxy and finally the moon as it is the 'satellite' of the earth.
Is the sun moon and stars on the surface or beneath the earth?
Neither. The sun, moon, and stars are all well outside the Earth
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
Why does the moon seem so big compared to the stars?
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
Why are stars brighter when thay are seen from the moon?
Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to obscure the view of the stars.

Do the sun stars moon revolve around the earth?
