A natural harbor is a landform at the junction between land and a water body, where a part of a body of water is protected and deep enough to furnish anchorage. Whereas, Artificial harbors are frequently built and maintained in order to use them as ports. Artificial harbors are constructed where the depth of water is too shallow for a big ships to load and unload.

What is the difference between harbor and harbor?

The difference is in the spelling of English & American English. For some reason the Americans have tried, in some cases to simplify spelling of some words. But a harbour is a harbor whichever way you look at it. It's the same thing spelt differently. The 2 systems can co exist, there is no right & wrong. Harbor, by the way is the US version.
