No a moon is a natural satellite of a planet; an object that revolves around a planet. The planets vary in the number of their moons; for example, Mercury and Venus have none, the Earth has one, and Jupiter has seventeen or more. The planets' moons, like the planets themselves, shine by reflected light.

By definition, moons orbit planets and planets orbit stars. Therefore, as the moon orbits the earth, and nothing orbits the moon, other than the odd American or Russian space vehicle, the moon is a moon, not a star.

No, no, no. The only star nearby is The Sun. And it creates Solar System with 8 planets. And the moon is only a piece of rock with is natural Earth satelite. :)

Nope, a satellite. A star is made up of hot gasses. The moon is rock and dust.
