What is the difference between a rocky planet's core and the core of the sun?

Compare the wiki solar core article with the wiki article on Earth's inner core.
Note temperature, density, size, and composition.

Note temperature, density, size, and composition.

But other than that...

You would be hard pressed to find materials that differ more. The Sun's core is a huge, hot, super dense region of plasma made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. The Earth's core is a much smaller region made mostly of relatively cool metals in a solid or liquid state.
