Is the moon a star?:)

If not what is it?:(

If you wish upon it how likely is it to grant that wish?;)

If this is a seriouis question, we don't do your homework here.

What is a star, define it ? Does the moon meet those requirements ?

Sorry no, all stars can be defined as a sun, a planet or a moon, they are defied and named and labeled.

Zero, although your wish may come true through no involvement of the moon.

This isn't quite right Chuck. The Sun is our star. Stars are giant luminous balls of plasma. While it's true that people call Venus the Evening Star, we actually catalogue "celestial bodies", some of which are stars and some of which are planets/moons/asteroids etc.
