Both words have many meanings! Basically, 'in' means the same as 'inside' - you live in a house; the letter is in an envelope; the car is in the garage; the sun is in the sky. 'On' means the same as 'on top of' - the roof is on the house; the address is written on the envelope; the car is on the road.

- The sun can't be 'on' anything, although we could say the sun is on the flowers, but then we use 'sun' as short for 'sunlight' or 'the heat of the sun'.
- 'On' could also be used for 'on the side of' - the poster is on the wall.
