Sorry if i have confused you, but to your question:

1. there is practically no difference between terradome and skydome, and various other ...domes you might encounter (one comes with poser in the primitives section).

2. as bagginsbill pointed out, there is no significant difference between sun and moon if you want to have realism. And since you use a moon prop, you could probably do without any X-dome at all. But because your moon is visible in the render, you probably should make it the lightest object in your scene, it should be lighter than the stars, for example. Your problem is, that you are doing an against-the-light image, so if you want to go somewhere near realism you either will not see the face of your character (because it is too dark), or your moon will be very bright (see the linked image as an example, even though it was not created with realism in mind).
