Celestiology

Hopefully a simple (dumb) question:

What is a moon, in Gloranthan terms? What is the difference between moons, planets and stars?

Is it purely a matter of observed behaviour: stars rotate with the Sun Dome, planets wander around the sky, and moons stay in one place but revolve on their axis? Is there a physical difference: stars are holes in the Dome, planets are small suns, and moons are big chunks of rock? Are the differences a mere theistic construct: Sedenya says she's a Moon, not a Planet, and she's big and powerful, so we have to take her word for it?
