Generally speaking, the stars do. The planets and moons reflect light back from the sun. The earth does give off some light though, in the form of artificial lighting around cities and built up areas.

Why is the sun is a star but the moon is not?

Because the moon is satelite. The sun (or any stars) don't orbit the earth. The moon does. A star is a body that involves a Nuclear reaction that emits heat, light, and multiple forms of other Electromagnetic Radiation. Planets and Moons do not have such reactions and therefore only reflect light from other bodies.


What makes a heavenly object a planet and not a star or a moon?

A Star is an active heavenly body in which Thermo Nuclear Fusion is the source of continuous supply of energy.No such reaction takes place in planets,so they do not have light of their own.Stars are bigger than planets,that is why planets revolve around stars.A moon or a satellite is much smaller and colder than a planet and hence a moon or a satellite revolves around a planet.
