What is the difference between a heat stroke and a sun stroke?

Heat stroke and sunstroke are often used interchangeably, but they can have slightly different connotations. Heat stroke is a severe condition resulting from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, leading to a body temperature exceeding 104°F (40°C) and potentially causing organ failure. Sunstroke, on the other hand, specifically refers to heat-related illness caused by direct exposure to the sun, often characterized by symptoms like headache, confusion, and dizziness. Both require immediate medical attention, but heat stroke is generally considered more serious.
