Solution

The points of differences between solution and suspension are discussed below:
Solution
Suspension
A solution is formed when a solute is dissolved in a solvent.
A suspension is a finely distributed solid in a liquid.
The solution is a homogenous mixture.
Suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
The diameter of the solute particles in a solution ranges between $1 \overset{°}{A} to 10 \overset{°}{A}$ .
The size of solute particles in a suspension is quite larger. It is about more than $100 mm$ in diameter.
Examples are Saltwater and bleach.
Examples are muddy water and milk of magnesia.
