There are a few difference between haploid cells and diploid cells.
Firstly, the number of chromosome sets found in the nucleus of each type of cell.
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes while haploid cells have one set of chromosomes.
Another difference is how they reproduce.
Haploid cells reproduce using meiosis, while diploid cells reproduce through mitosis.

Haploid cells
They consist of one set of chromosomes.
They are formed after meoisis.
The gamete from the mother and father contain one set of chromosomes each and when they combine they form a diploid zygote.
Diploid cells
They contain a complete set of chromosomes that is two sets.
They are formed when two haploid cells combine.
They undergo mitosis to form more diploid cells.
