What is the meaning of the Sun behind Shiva's head? (I notice that the moon is in front but the sun is behind)
Also what is it that is sitting at the top right of the picture of Shiva in the link below?

śivasya hridayam viṣṇur viṣṇoscha hridayam śivaḥ
Namaste galileo
like Jainarayan I do not think it’s the sun but Shiva’s divine radiance. May be you just thought where the moon is there must be the sun.
A version of the story of the moon you will read here

Top right could be Amarnath linga. I am not able to upload a picture ... you can google or watch the video.

Pranam
Dance with Shiva - live with Shiva - merge with Shiva
Namaste!
As others have said, this is not the sun. It is halo which signifies divine radiance. You will find it many Deities and holy persons' pictures.
