The difference between the structure of the sun and earth is that in the middle of the sun is the core. The core is where ENERGY is produced...The ENERGY is transported to the sun's surface through the RADIATIVE and CONVECTIVE zones.

That gives a rough idea of how the Sun works, but a more useful answer to the actual question is that the Sun is a star - a sphere of extremely hot hydrogen gas undergoing nuclear fusion to helium; while the Earth is a planet comprised mostly of rock (though its Core is believed to be the metals iron and nickel).

What causes light from the sun to hit different parts of the earth at different angles?
Tilting of the Earth
Is the sun's structure is uniform throughtout its interior with no evidence of different layers?
False
Why do the sun rays strike the earth's surface at different angles?
because earth is curved
What causes the different seasons on the earth?
Earth has seasons because its axis is tilted. Earth's axis is always pointed in the same direction, so different parts of Earth get the Sun's direct rays throughout the year.
Why is the sun different than earth?
The sun is bigger than the earth that is how they are different.
What techniques do you find in common between how we probe the internal structure of the Sun and the internal structure of Earth?
We use seismic waves (or pressure waves) to interpret the internal structure of both the sun and earth. When studying the sun it is called helioseismology on earth it is just called seismology

What causes variation in time at different places on earth?
Since the Earth tilts on an axis, different places both in the northern and southern hemisphere will be facing the sun, so the different places of the earth have the sun in different places, therefore, the different places of the earth have different time zones.
Which planet are between earth and the sun?
The orbits of Mercury and Venus are between the sun and the orbit of Earth. That is different from saying that Mercury and Venus are between the sun and Earth, which is often not true.
How could the Sun appear at different angles when viewed at the same time from different locations on Earth?
the sun does not move but the earth does spin around
What are two ways the sun is different from the earth?
The sun is brighter and bigger.
Why does different parts of the earth gets the sun?
it is because the sun is facing on the side of the earth and as it rotates, the side that gets the sun switches
Does have a different sun that earth?
no same one
What causes light from the sun to hit different parts of the earth at different angles?
Tilting of the Earth
How is the rotation of the Sun different from the rotation of the Earth-?
Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates.
