Solution

The basic difference is that combustion is heating and no flames are produced whereas in burning most of the energy is converted to light energy and this results in less heat energy as compared to combustion. Combustionis a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer.
