Tire balance = adding weights to the outside of the tire (look closely you will see them) so it does not wobble from centrifugal force while driving.

Tire alignment = making sure both wheels are properly calibrated (i.e. same angle while turning) so they are lined up. This reduces wear on the tires. It can be dangerous if the wheels are poorly aligned, loss of traction could result.
