DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid while RNA is ribonucleic acid !

DNA has base pair of adenine guanine thymine and cytosine.....while RNA has adenine guanine cytosine and uracil !

DNA is always double helix while RNA is mainly single helix !

DNA contains genetic info for 99℅ of organism while RNA is being catalytic and unstable than DNA is only present as genetic information holder in 1℅ !

DNA does not involve in protein synthesis directly but RNA has to !

for more difference, comment !
