This may depend on what source you consult. Popularly, there is no difference; J.R.R. Tolkien, a student of popular and ancient mythology and writer of the"The Lord of the Rings", used the terms interchangeably. All agree that goblins are a mutation or fallen form of the elvish race.
Some cite one difference, that being that orcs are sadistic full-bodied warriors whereas goblins are usually small, twisted mischief makers. This distinction is usually made by those who read classic European Fairy Tales where elves and goblins are often portrayed as small humanlike creatures that interact with humans usually only on a magical level.

The Hobbit How does the author portray the goblins to be different from the elves?
When The Hobbit was written, I don't think that Tolkien had imagined that the Orcs/Goblins were derived from the Elves. In many ways the Goblins of the Misty Mountains were somewhat to the Silvan Elves of the Woodland Realm: - They both lived underground - They both were suspicious of outsiders (especially dwarves) How they differed: - Goblins preferred the dark places and shunned daylight, Elves lived underground to avoid detection - The Elves were beautiful, the goblins ugly - The Elves only greed was for wine and song, while the Goblins were just plain greedy This is just on the surface too. Later we are told that the Goblins/Orcs are actually Elves that were twisted and corrupted by Morgoth, Sauron's master.

What are orcs?
Orcs are goblins. They are hideous, evil, cruel, stupid, bloodthirsty, and merciless. They are as tall as humans and they have their own language, orcish. Orcs were bred for war. The orc army was called the Uruk - hai. [Improved] No Orcs are NOT goblins and no, Orcs are NOT Uruk-Hai. Orcs originally come from Lord of the rings. Tolkien described Orcs as ugly, fanged humanoids. They are the servants of the dark lord Sauron. Their origin is up to debate as Tolkien has hinted at a couple things, 1. Orcs were originally made from stone and slime combined with the sorcery of Morgoth, 2. Orcs were actually elves, captured, tortured, bent, both mind and body corrupted. Now goblins are mentioned in The Hobbit as Orc like people who live in the mountains. Uruk-Hai are actually breeds of breeds of Orcs, I think they were a mix of Orc and Orc Men. These were taller, stronger, smarter and serve both sauruman and sauron. hopes that helps
