Simply put, the sun, our sun, is a great big ball of burning gas. The moon on the other hand is a large cold lump of rock that is orbiting the earth. The moon revolves around the earth and the earth revolves around the sun.

A moon is a hunk of rock and dust orbiting a planet. Planets orbit their star, which is a giant ball of gas and thermonuclear fire.

A Sun is a huge object that fuses Hydrogen to make vast amounts of energy. The Moon is a ball of rock, much smaller in comparison.
