The obvious difference is that you don't need amplification to play an acoustic guitar, whereas you do for playing an electric guitar. A less than obvious difference is that electric Guitars are usually more sensitive to subtle techniques such as harmonics or vibrato. Also, electric guitars tend to use lighter strings, making them easier to press down on the frets, while making the faster technique involved in playing riffs or leads harder on acoustics.
