The main difference is the fact that our planet orbits the Sun and the energy from the Sun is vital to all life on Earth.

The Sun is the closest star to earth than any other star in the solar system.

Most Stars, 9 out of 10, are smaller than the sun.

Well, first of all it is a star, not a planet. It is a ball of burning gases and does not have solid substance like the planets. Also it gives off light, and planets take their light and energy from the sun.

the sun is also pretty

Our sun is alot smaller than other suns. Our sun is not as hot either, because the more whitish it is the younger it is and that also measures how hot it is too. Our sun has gone from white to orange so its getting older and not as hot.

Does the sun have seasons?

I would say no. It's always summer on the surface of the sun. The sun does undergo an 11 year cycle of activity known as sun spots. Earth's seasons are the result of earth's axial tilt with respect to the sun. Summer begins (on earth) when the sun reaches its highest point of the day in the hemisphere you're in, and the same is true for the other planets in our solar system. It is also possible seasonal differences could result between aphelion and perihelion in planets with sufficiently eccentric orbits. There is nothing analogous to produce seasonal changes on the sun. Solar temperature variations cannot be considered "seasonal."


What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?

The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.


How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?

The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
