HTTP and HTTPS both are application layer protocols with a difference in between them .

HTTP HTTPS
HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure or HTTP over SSL and HTTP over TLS.
In HTTP there is no encryption of data . So the data is vulnerable to eavesdropping and tampering . HTTPS consists of communication over HTTP within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer.
HTTP URLs begin with "http://" and use port 80 by default. HTTPS URLs begin with "https://" and use port 443 by default.
HTTP is insecure and is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, which can let attackers gain access to website accounts and sensitive information, and modify webpages to inject malware or advertisements. HTTPS is secure and designed to withstand such attacks.
