Detailed explanation-1: -Our Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of our solar system. The Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth, and without its energy, life as we know it could not exist here on our home planet.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is no difference, but a huge one at the same time. Namely, every Sun is a star, but not every star is a Sun. The Sun is larger and as such a lot brighter than most stars. There are billions of Suns in our galaxy alone and as mentioned, many of the stars we see are also Suns.
Detailed explanation-3: -The easiest way to pick out planets is to remember this quick rule of thumb: stars twinkle and planets don’t. Seen with the naked eye, planets and stars both appear as pinpoints of light. When you observe a star, you’ll notice that it twinkles and the light may appear to change colors.
Detailed explanation-4: -The star which is the formation of hot gasses, energy, light and heat, which doesn’t refer to the moon’s qualities. So the moon is not a planet or a star.
