The moon is Earth's only natural satellite, while the sun, Mars, and Venus are celestial bodies that do not serve as moons to other planets.

Stars are large celestial bodies primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases that undergo nuclear fusion to emit light and heat. Asteroids, planets, and comets are not primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, nor do they emit light and heat in the same way stars do.

The sun is at the center of our solar system, around which all other planets revolve. The moon and other planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun, but the sun itself is the primary source of light and energy.
