My friend the basic difference is that a dot product of two vectors i.e. scalar product is a scalar quantity. While vector product of two vectors i.e. cross product is a vector quantity. ... Dot product is also the product of two vectors but it turns out to be a scalar and hence contains only magnitude but no direction....mark it as brainliest

Heyya!

DOT PRODUCT : it is the product of two vectors which gives a scalar quantity . here the product is represented by a  .  ..hence its name dot product  . 

vectorA . vectorB = AB cos(theta) . 

ex : W = vectorF . vector S ( work which is a scalar qty is the product of force and displacement ) ...

CROSS PRODUCT : the cross product of two vectors is defined as the vector whose magnitude is equal to product of magnitudes of the two vectors and sine of the angle between them . here product is represented by X ( cross ) ...

vector A X vectorB = AB sin (theta) ncap 

ncap is the arbitrary direction 

ex : vector torque = vector r X vector F


Hope it helps!☺️
