The earth is a planet and the sun is a star. The star was born before the planet from a much larger resources called a nebula. The hydrogen heats up and becomes sensed. This creates a stars. These stars generate gravity which caused debris from the big ban to orbit the star as it grew larger. Then the debris practically banged into eachother creating asteroids and comets. These asteroids and comets fused together creating moon size planets. Then those banged together to create a dwarf planet earth. Dwarf earth then joined with other dwarf planets to make. That's it in very simple terms. Comparing a planet and a star is like comparing an apple to a leaf.
