There is no difference between the two.

Could anyone please suggest me what is the truth behind this. It would be great if anybody can explain the definitions of these two terms.

Thanks,

There are retailers and then there are retailers!! Having recently heard of a retailer assuring a customer that the Horsehead Nebula would be visible in a 4" scope, there are maybe some whose knowledge is less than perfect.
