the key difference is certainty of locating electrons in the atom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bohr's model treats electron energy levels as clearly defined orbital paths around the nucleus ( like planets orbit the Sun).

The cloud model treats the energy levels as probability clouds, i.e. regions in which electrons are likely to be found. The shapes of the clouds are based on the shapes formed by electrons that are trapped like standing waves.
