Difference between Aura & Lightning & Lightning Web Components

Hello, what is the difference?
Best Answer chosen by Developer Base
VinayVinay (Salesforce Developers) 
Aura is an open-source UI framework built by Salesforce for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices.To build lightning components in salesforce lightning we use the Lightning component framework.

The lightning component framework is not different from the Aura framework rather it is a subset of the Aura framework.  

The Lightning Component framework is built on the open-source Aura framework. However, the open-source Aura framework has some features that aren't available to Lightning Component 
framework.

Aura-based Lightning components are built using both HTML and JavaScript, but LWC is built directly on the Web stack.

A developer who works on LWC is not only using coding skills on a particular framework but in other frameworks like React or Angular, which are based on the Web Stack.

Check below references for more details.
