The sun and moon were created long after elves and middle earth.
There is no sensible way to make a time comparison to earth.
The moon is a flower from Telperion, a tree with white flowers.
It is related tree in Minis Tirith which is dead at the beggining of the movie and blossoming at the end.


I'll try to explain the trees here:
