The main difference is that third person limited happens when the story is told from a character's perspective, while a story in third person omniscient is told by a narrator that is external to the story

Answer:

The third-person limited narrator is a character with a limited view of the facts, while the third person omniscient narrator is not any of the characters and know everything in the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third-person limited narrator tells the story from the point of view of a specific character only, and it does not explain the details of others beyond their own perspective. On the other hand, the third person omniscient narrator has knowledge about every little aspect of the story and tells it from the outside of it with a wider point of view.
