What is the difference between a Rover and a Space Probe?

1 answer

A rover is a type of robotic spacecraft that moves across the surface of a planet or other celestial body, while a space probe is a type of spacecraft that travels through space to study and explore other planets, moons, asteroids, or other celestial bodies. In other words, a rover is specifically designed to land on a celestial body and move around on its surface, while a space probe is designed to travel through space and collect data about celestial bodies without landing on them.
