The command line interface is just a type of GUI (Graphical User Interface) ie. windows 2000, xp, vista, 7. They all look different because of the different GUIs.

CLI(Command Line Interface) is more advanced, beginner users may struggle to use a CLI

GUI(Graphical User Interface) is more user friendly with graphics allowing mouse clicks etc.

CLI uses less computer resources due to being a simple command line so has its advantages over GUI.

GUI hogs more computer resources due to graphics etc.

CLI can be used to do more advanced commands and do alot of very technical processes.

GUI is very secure and offers users the things they need in plain site, point and click.

1) Windows 2) Icons 3) Menus 4) Pointer
The biggest difference is that CLI don't use graphics.. Also in CLI you manually have to enter the command whereas in GUI you may have buttons and menu.. CLI does not supports Mouse..
A graphical user interface uses graphics, such as pictures and icons the user can select (eg click on) to run commands.
A command-line interface has a space or line on which text based inputs (commands for the computer) can be typed, so the user must have existing knowledge of valid commands.
