Best Answer

Sitting on usually indicates you are on something, while at would be near or beside it. So if were on a table, you would be sitting on the table. If you were on a chair beside the table, you would be sitting at the table.

Sitting at can also refer to a time something is happening, like:

"The parliament is sitting at 2pm".
