Adsense vs Adwords

Can anyone here elaborately explain what these two have to offer best? I used to work using Google Adwords, but the other is new to me.

The Google AdWords will allow you to advertise your websites/services via Google search or their ad networks, especially your advertisements will be appeared on top search results pages, to learn and know more you can visit adwords.google.com.

The Google AdSenseis is different from Google adwords, it allow you earn money when their ads displayed on your sites based on user clicks/impressions on ads. Google pays you as a web publisher and you can earn money from videos on Youtube with Google adsense if you integrate it into Youtube.

What is Google Adwords?

Adwords is the platform you can use as an advertiser to show your ads on the Google Search Results Pages, partner websites or the Google Display network (websites that show Google Ads).

One of the main characteristics of Adwords is that you only pay when someone clicks on your ad (Pay Per Click). When you create an account with Adwords, you can create your advertising campaigns, choose your ads and budget, decide where your want the ads to appear and Google will only charge you when someone clicks on the ads.

What is Google Adsense?

Adsense is the platform you can use as a webmaster or blog owner (we call these a ‘publisher’) so that Google ads are shown in your website. When someone clicks on an ad that is shown on your website you will get paid a portion of what the Adwords advertiser pays.
