Hello,

HTTP stands for Hyper text transfer protocol, where as HTTPS stands for Hyper text transfer protocol secure. It is different from http as https uses protocol which uses an encrypted http connection by transport layer security. Https is useful while exchanging private or imp information with the server, which needs to be protected from hackers.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP),
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

HTTPS means that you tunnel the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL which encrypts the HTTP payload. So the benefit is that HTTP requests and responses are transmitted securely over the wire, e.g. your Internet Service Provider does not know what you're doing.

Hypertext Transferal Protocol (HTTP), this website uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Using HTTPS, the computers agree on a "code" between them, and then they scramble the messages using that "code" so that no one in between can read them.

These protocols is used to communicate between client and web server.
HTTP - Data will be sent to Sever without encryption.
HTTPS - Data will be sent to Sever with encryption.(so Secure)
HTTPS make use of SSL certificates to provide encryption feature .

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.

HTTP is used in networking. Whenever basically you type a website in the browser, its is this protocol which by default listens at port 80 on server sid.
HTTPS is added security layer in place in form on TLS/SSL. Servers and clients communicate with each other exactly same as HTTP but over a secure channel.
