Let's see:
1. Over-the-ear phones have a cup surrounding the driver that also completely covers the ear so as to seal out external noise and also to prevent sound leakage from inside.
2. On-ear phones, on the other end, are the closest thing to listening to loudspeakers you can get without listening to loudspeakers, but the absence of isolation makes them unsuitable for applications where you need to reduce the effect of outside noise (such as when commuting) or where leakage from the headphones might be a problem (commuting again, recording studios, any domestic setting where you're wearing headphones to avoid disturbing someone else in the room).

On-ear, or supra-aural headphones, cover a smaller space, resting just over your ears. The difference between over ear and on ear headphones is mostly the size of the ear-area, and how this affects the headphone. They are smaller and more versatile and tend to be cheaper than bulkier headsets.
