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).

Why do the sun rays strike the earth's surface at different angles?

The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface varies depending on the Earth's rotation and its position in relation to the sun. This angle changes throughout the day as the Earth rotates on its axis and as the Earth orbits around the sun, causing different parts of the Earth to receive sunlight at different angles.

What are the reasons for our seasons?

The changing seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. As the Earth orbits the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the seasons. The tilt causes different parts of the Earth to be closer or farther from the Sun at different times of the year, resulting in variations in temperature and daylight.


Is the sun's structure is uniform throughtout its interior with no evidence of different layers?

No, the sun's structure is not uniform throughout its interior. The sun has different layers, including the core where nuclear fusion occurs, the radiative zone, and the convective zone. These layers have different temperatures and densities, leading to distinct regions with varying properties.


How does the earth affect seasonal changes?

The Earth orbits the Sun once every year, as I'm sure you were already aware of. The world also rotates on it's own axis so at different points during the day different parts of the world will be facing the Sun creating the night/day process.However, where the Earth is in relation to the Sun along with what part of the world is facing the Sun at that point affects what season different parts of the world are in.For example if the world is to the left of the Sun, the countries to the right hand side of the Earth will be in winter. And if the Earth is to the North of the Sun, the countries to the South of the Earth will be in Summer.

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.
