ORBITAL - a mathematically described region around a nucleus in an atom or molecule that may contain zero, one, or two electrons so in simpler terms, an orbital is a region around a nucleus that may contain electrons and an orbit is the path around for example, the moon.

Orbit- It is a well defined circular path in which the electrons are supposed to move in bohr's model. Orbital- Its a 3D region in the space around the nucleus in which the probablity of finding an electron is maximum. Orbital- Except s orbital, all other orbitals are directional.
