Sugar on RNA?

The sugar that is part of a nucleotide is a 5-carbon atom sugar in its ring form. It will either be ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA. The "deoxy" simply means that the ribose molecule has lost an oxygen. That missing oxygen happens to be from the second carbon, so the more correct name for deoxyribose is 2-deoxyribose.

What sugar does RNA have that is different from the sugar in DNA?

The sugar in RNA is ribose, whereas the sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The only difference between the two is that in deoxyribose, there is an oxygen missing from the 2' carbon (there is a H there instead of an OH). This makes DNA more stable/less reactive than RNA.
