Senators are elected to represent their entire state and each State has only two. Senators are elected to 6 year terms. Each senator is voted on by the entire State's electorate.
Representatives are elected to 4 year terms and they must represent specific districts within their State. Only those in their districts vote for each representative.
The number of representatives is determined by the population of the State, as defined by the Census taken every 10 years.
Thus the House of Representatives offers greater voting power to more populous States, although those Representative are, each, more directly answerable to a smaller portion of constituents.
While the Senate balances the power of the more populous States by offering the same voting power to even the least populous States, giving the poorer, less populous States greater bargaining power in terms of voting with or against the agendas of the more powerful States.
While Representatives are intended to vote the narrow interests of their particular district... Senators are voting on a Statewide agenda.
