What is the difference between an Applet and an Application (Applets)

Question :What is the difference between an Applet and an Application? (Applets)
Answer :The differences between an applet and an application are as follows:
1. Applets can be embedded in HTML pages and downloaded over the
Internet whereas
Applications have no special support in HTML for embedding or
downloading.
2. Applets can only be executed inside a java compatible container, such as
a browser
or appletviewer whereas Applications are executed at command line by
java.exe or jview.exe.
3. Applets execute under strict security limitations that disallow certain
operations
(sandbox model security) whereas Applications have no inherent security
restrictions.
4. Applets don't have the main() method as in applications. Instead they
operate on an
entirely different mechanism where they are initialized by init(),started by
start(),stopped
by stop() or destroyed by destroy().
