Stars are much much bigger than the moon. They only appear to be smaller because they are so far away as compared to the moon.

A star is a gigantic celestial body of hot gas that radiates energy derived from thermonuclear reactions in the interior. The moon appears bigger because it is so much closer to us than the stars. The sun is also considered as a star.

It's not, the stars are bigger but the are farther away so they look smaller.

These are a special case of star. White dwarf stars would also be fairly small, though not nearly as small as our moon. Closer to the size of earth.
