Trying to implement a delay

ok so i have a dive named "thestar" with two classes which i toggle, so on click the div will have the class "sun", and on click again the class will be "moon"

var counterStar = 0; intervalStar = setInterval(function() {

    if (counterStar < 5 && $(thestar).hasClass("moon")) {
        $(".stars").append('<p class="star' + counterStar + '"' + ' ></p>');
        counterStar++;
    }

},3000);

if($(thestar).hasClass("sun"))
{
    counterStar=0;
    clearInterval(intervalStar);
}

i add 5 paragraphs at a interval of 3 seconds

//i delete the paragraphs when the class is sun

problem: if i toggle between classes more than once, the paragraphs will be added very fast, it wont take into account the 3 seconds

I would add a check to the 

if($(thestar).hasClass("sun"))

clause to make sure the 3 seconds has completed.
