A lot of things. For example, a cube has 8 vertices, the square pyramid has 5. A cube also has more edges and faces than the pyramid. All the faces of the cube are squares, while the pyramid only has one square face. Also, all the angles in the cube are right angles, while the angles in a square pyramid (in the usual sense of a pyramid where the apex is directly above the center of the base) are acute. In any case, they are not all right angles.

When Egyptians Pharaohs died they were buried in a tomb in a pyramid with all of their prized things. The queen was buried in a smaller tomb and smaller pyramid and didn't have as much prized things as the Pharaoh. Her pyramid was located near her husband's pyramid.

At Giza with the pyramid of his father Khafre and the most famous pyramid of all the Great Pyramid of his granddad Khufu.
The answer is no. A square pyramid can not have all triangle faces because the base of this particular pyramid would be a square.
