The difference is that the senior Senator has been in office longer than the junior Senator.
As of October 2021, Maryland's senior senator is Ben Cardin and its junior senator is Chris Van Hollen.
A junior senator has served in the senate for a shorter time than the other senator from his state; that other senator from his state is a senior senator.
There are 2 senators from each state each serving 6-year terms. The senator with the longer term in office is known as the "senior" senator while the other is known as the "junior" senator.
Barack Obama served as a junior senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008.

A senior stylist has a lot more experience and years behind them than a junior stylist. A junior stylist only knows so much and is learning all the time where as the senior stylist knows it all and is the teacher.
You look at how long each has served in the senate. The one who has served the longest is the "senior senator."
Sen. McCain is the senior senator for the state of Arizona and Sen. Obama is the junior senator for Illinois.
My two Legislative representatives for Florida are senior Senator Bill Nelson and junior Senator George LeMieux.
Quite a difference.. a Lieutenant is a junior officer, whereas a Lieutenant Colonel is a much more senior officer.
