Question
ok so im on episode 83 of sailor moon and i dont get it with all the diffrent
names sailor moon r, sailor moon s, and sailor moon super s! why do they have
all the diffrent names i mean come on i dont get please explain?!?!?!?!?!

Answer
Those are the names of the different seasons.

Sailor Moon - Episodes 1-46. The first season. The enemy is the Dark Kingdom/Negaverse, Queen Beryl and her lackeys. Since this season doesn't have a letter attached to it, some people call it Sailor Moon Classic to make it clear they're talking only about the first season and not the series as a whole.

Sailor Moon R - Episodes 47-89. The second season. There are two arcs in this season. The first is the aliens and their tree. The second is the Black Moon Family.

Sailor Moon S - Episodes 90-127. The third season. The enemy is the Death Busters. They steal pure heart crystals.

Sailor Moon SuperS - Episodes 128-166. The fourth season. The enemy is the Dead Moon Circus.  They look in people's dreams.

Sailor Moon Sailor Stars - Episodes 167-200. The fifth and final season. The enemy is the Animamates and Chaos.

As for why they have different names, I guess it would be easier to understand if you thought of each season as one long movie. Every new season is a sequel, so it needs a different name.
