Question

What is the difference between volume surface area and area

Answer 1

The area is the same as the surface area.
The volume measures the space inside a solid shape.
The surface area is the "face" of a solid shape. The measurement of the outside of the solid shape.

Answer 2

Answer: Surface area is just what you can see. The outer part. The area is the whole thing. Even the inside, not just what you can see.

Explanation/Reasoning:
Surface area is the outside layer, or the uppermost part. It is what surrounds it. The area is the whole thing. Even what you cannot see.
