What is the difference between Pathetic Fallacy and Personification?

Pathetic Fallacy and Personification are different. First clear this in your mind.

Pathetic Fallacy is attributing human qualities to inanimate objects or natural beings. e.g. Sun sadly moved away from his path.

Personification is directly giving human qualities to inanimate objects or natural beings. e.g. Sun was smiling like an kid with a candy in his mouth.
