Solution

$O r b i t$ $O r b i t a l$
it is well defined circular path around the nucleus in which electrons revolve according to Bohr's model of an atom.
it is three-dimensional space around the nucleus in which the probability of finding an electron is maximum. this is in accordance with the quantum mechanics model of the atom.
An orbit can accommodate $2 n^{2}$ electrons where n represents the number of orbit orbital can accommodate the maximum of two electrons only.
the revolution of the electron in an orbit is against the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. the concept of an orbital is in accordance with the uncertainty principle.
Orbits are circular. the probability distribution of charge cloud in different orbitals is different full stop this gives them different shapes.
Orbits are nondirectional. except $s$ orbital, all other orbitals are directional in nature.
