Step-by-step explanation:

Operating system is a system software, whereas, Kernel is a part of operating system. Operating system acts as an interface between user and hardware. Kernel acts as an interface between applications and hardware. In Linux, for example, device drivers are often part of a kernel (specifically Loadable Kernel Modules).
