The sun is large, the moon is small. The sun is gaseous, the moon is solid. The sun shines by its own nuclear fusion, whereas the moon shines only by the reflected light of the sun (and to a much lesser extent) of the stars.
The moon orbits the earth, whereas the sun orbits the galaxy.
The sun is only visible during the day (obviously), while the moon can usually be seen day or night.
