  The sun is a ball of gas, so there aren’t any solid structures like the Earth has for tectonic plates. The sun’s quakes have a totally different trigger – sometimes this can be a solar flare, which rattles the surface of the sun.

  @M&H in fact, the Earth is thinly planet in the solar system with plate tectonics! We live on a very special planet!
