Abstract
1. Evolution of the modelling of the inside of the Sun, from “standard models” to the more empirical approach used now, and based on neutrino astronomy, solar sismology, and the interpretation of active phenomena. 2. New concepts introduced in the set of physical equations valid inside the Sun, under the pressure of new observations. 3. Similar trends seeming to affect in a comparable way the modelling of the solar cycle. 4. Other stars, and the improved knowledge of solar evolution may help to understand many observed features of rotation, magnetism, etc…Conclusion: the Sun is “one”, — and it cannot safely be studied piecemeal.
