The sun is a luminous object while the moon is a non luminous object it only reflect the light from the sun... It takes 8.5 minutes for the light coming form the sun to reach the earth, it takes 1.3light seconds for the moon to reflect the light coming from the sun to the earth... The sun is a star while the moon is a satellite both the sun and the moon are round in shape... The sun has an outer temperature of about 6000°C while there is no breeze in the moon...
