The main difference between rod cells and cone cells is that the rod cell is responsible for detecting the dim lights only with black and white, and the cone cell is responsible for detecting the bright lights with colors. Also in retina, there are more rod cells than the cone cells. thirdly, defect in rods causes night blindness and defect in cones causes color blindness.
