Our understanding of the internal structure of the Sun and solar type stars has been undermined by recent observations. In this paper we consider some of the puzzles and possible resolutions; the solar neutrino problem, lithium and beryllium abundance, rotation and calcium emission, variation of the solar constant, solar oscillations and the solar convective zone. The picture that emerges is one of confusion, and so it should be since we have no idea of what is going on inside the Sun and a fortiori of what is going on inside other stars.
