The diference is simple, the transition altitude is the altitude above sea level at wich the aircraft change from the use of altitude to the use of flight level. When operating above the transition altitude, the aircraft altimeters pressure seting is normally adjusted to the standard pressure setting wich is 1013 millibars in europe, or 29.92 inches of mercury in US, or Canada. There the aircraft altitude will be expressed as a flight level.

QNE is pressure altitude, the pressure as if it were ISA conditions regardless of actual conditions, used above transition altitude. QNH is the actual pressure reduced to sea level.
The Transition Altitude (TA) in France is generally 3000 FT AGL (above ground level). But most controlled airspace (TMA) uses another TA (4000, 5000 or 6000). The TA is printed on the official maps. Or you cold listen to ATIS. Or just ask a controller when unsure ...

?? strange question... the sun isn't in our atmosphere so it can't have an 'altitude' it just has a distance away from us.
