There are many differences:
1. The sun is held together by its own gravity, a candle is not.
2. On the sun, H atoms get converted into He atoms.
3. The sun will give heat and light for roughly 5 billion more years; we can extinguish a candle with a breath or with a touch.
4. The sun rotates about its own axis; candles do not.
5. Sunlight comes from nuclear reactions; candle light comes from simple combustion.
6. And the most idiotic difference is that a candle can provide direct heat and light at night but not the sun.
The BIG PICTURE:
They differ in size, durability, origin, the mechanism of energy output, and the quantity of energy output.
The sun is a giant, burning ball of gas that emits light and heat due to nuclear fusion, while a candle is a small, controlled flame burning from a wick fueled by wax. The sun is much larger, hotter, and more powerful than a candle, which is a simple, man-made source of light and heat.

What is the difference between microscope today and a long ago?
If you are talking about a light microscope, not very much. The largest difference is varying lenses and the light source. Today the light is uniform from a bulb and not from a candle or the sun. Also modern ones are more powerful because of the precision used to make them

Yes. Candle is as natural source of light as the sun is.
Can the heat of the sun melt a candle?
The high temperature of a candle involves relatively little mass and hence, relatively few very fast moving particles. A bowl of warm water has tremendously more warm, and hence moderately fast moving particles. The difference in the number of particles (or molecules) in this case outweighs the difference in the speed with which they are moving.
