A clause can not stand alone in a sentence, whereas an independent clause can stand alone in a sentence.
Commas are used differently when a clause is an independent clauses or if the clause is a dependent/subordinate clauses.
The difference between the independent clause and the dependent clause is: "dependent clause" has a complete thought like for example "the catcher missed the ball" it expresses who missed the ball (the catcher)."independent clause" has no complete thought like for example "the movie idol" it cannot express who is the movie idol.

There isn't a difference between a subordinate clause and a subordinate clause.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb, and can stand alone as a complete sentence. A prepositional phrase, on the other hand, is a group of words that begins with a preposition and functions as an adjective or adverb in a sentence, but does not contain a subject and verb to form a complete thought.
Actually, a subordinating conjunction is a word that joins a dependent clause to an independent clause. It shows the relationship between the two clauses and makes the dependent clause subordinate to the independent clause.
The difference between a compound sentence and a complex sentence is that a compound sentence has two independent clauses, connected by a Coordinator. A complex sentence on contains one independent clause. A complex sentence also always contains a subordinator.
Only an independent clause can stand independently. A dependent clause is dependent on an independent clause.
An independent clause stands alone.
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.
