In a city you can't see stars because of the light comming from the streeth lights and buildings.

You cant see the stars if your standing under one light source (the sun)

So your under a lightsource (a lamp whatever) and then if you take picture youll see a black sky. No stars.

Not only is the light from the sun a factor, there's also the reflected light from the lunar surface itself.

The flag in the instance you mention does not wave around anywhere near as much as when the pole was handled by the astronauts.
Also, there are two more likely explainations.
One, the astronaut brushed against the flag. A YouTube user did analysis of the positions, and it the astronaut was close enough for this to happen.
Two, an electrostatic effect caused the flag to move. The moon dust is known to create such effects.

If the waving flag was a hoax brought about by wind, wouldn't you expect a lot of the "fake" moon dust to blow about?
