There are 31 judicial circuits with a total of 120 separate circuit courts.
The number of circuit courts in Illinois depends on how you define the word "court". There are 23 judicial circuits in Illinois. Some of those include only a single county, but some of them include several counties. There is at least one Circuit Court location (courthouse) in each county. Illinois has 102 counties, so you could say there are 102 circuit *courts* because there is one in each county - even though there are only 23 *circuits*.
But some counties have more than one Circuit Court location. Some just hold court in more than one city. For example, Whiteside County has Circuit Court locations in Morrison and Sterling. Cook County has 13 divisions and locations (some are in the same building but handle different types of cases and are in separate courtrooms). There are a total of 130 separate Circuit Court locations in Illinois.

It really depends what kind of courts you are talking about and where the courts are. If the courts are federal, then a district court is a trial court and a circuit court is an appeals court, which may review a trial decision from a district court. For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.
The US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts consist of thirteen courts, one for each circuit.
The differences between Maryland Circuit Courts and District Courts are in the types of cases they handle. Another major difference is that Circuit Courts have jury trials, and District Courts do not. The details are best explained in the related link below.
In the Federal court system, the district courts are the "lowest" courts. Cases usually start in district court and are decided there. The circuit courts are courts of appeal. That means that you can appeal a district court's ruling to the circuit court (and then to the Supreme Court, if you still don't like the ruling). In that sense, the circuit courts are "higher" than the district courts.
The state Circuit Courts are the courts of original jurisdiction for the trying of all matters pertaining to the enforcement or violation of that state's laws.
