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.
No. A constellation is an arrangement of stars. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth.
There's only one difference between the sky seen from the Earth and the sky seen from the moon. The sky seen from the Earth has a moon in it, and the sky seen from the moon has an Earth in it. Other than that, exactly the same objects in the same patterns are seen from both places.
No, the sun and moon are not planets. The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars, like Earth does with the sun.
Relative to the background stars, the moon takes 27 days 7 hours and 43 minutes to orbit the 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.
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.
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.

The Moon orbits the Earth.
Neither. The sun, moon, and stars are all well outside the Earth
There are no stars between the Earth and the Moon. The stars we see in the night sky are much farther away. The Moon is located within our own solar system, while the stars are located at much greater distances in our galaxy and beyond.
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
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.
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
No. A constellation is an arrangement of stars. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth.
Stars do not twinkle from the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does. The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from the stars passing through the Earth's atmosphere and being distorted by the movement of air currents. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, the light from the stars does not twinkle when viewed from its surface.
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.
