A tornado and a twister are the same thing.

However, there are many differences between them.
- A typhoon is its own storm system, while a tornado is part of a larger parent storm.

- Typhoons last for several days or even weeks while tornadoes rarely last even an hour.
- Typhoons form only over warm ocean water while tornadoes usually occur on land.
