 Wit?

First let us begin with the word wit. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, wit can be understood as keen intelligence or else a natural talent for using words and ideas in quick, amusing ways. Wit has to be understood as a sharpness of the mind. A witty person can respond quickly to situations in such a manner that they can highlight their sharpness of mind. Wit certainly arouses amusement in the listener, but it may not always be funny.

Humor?

Humor can be defined as the quality of being amusing. For an example, imagine a situation where something humorous happened to you such as slipping on a banana peel or pronouncing a word wrong. You may find many instances that made you laugh. These are situations of humor. Humor does not have to be related to a situation alone. It can be something you heard, a book you read, even be a comedy show that you watched. Whenever you remember it, it makes you laugh. Hence, humor has to be understood as a feeling.

yuvrajkarle: Wit is a form of intelligent humour, the ability to say or write things that are clever and usually funny. A wit is a person skilled at making clever and funny remarks. Forms of wit include the quip and repartee.

wit -the capacity for inventive thought and quick understanding; keen intelligence

humour-the quality of being amusing or comic, especially as expressed in literature or speech.

The key difference between the two is that while wit emphasizes intelligence through humor, the latter does not.
