A step is the distance between two notes. A half step is the shortest (tonal) distance between two notes (such as between B and C), and a whole step is therefore a distance of two half steps between two notes (such as between C and D, since C#/Db is between them).
The term for the distance between two notes in music is called an interval.

An interval in music theory is the distance between two pitches. It is measured by counting the letter names of the notes involved, including both the starting and ending notes. For example, the interval between C and E is a third because there are three letter names (C, D, E) in between them.
The distance in pitch between two musical notes is called an interval.

Intervals in music can be identified by listening to the distance between two notes. This distance is measured by counting the number of letter names between the two notes, including both the starting and ending notes. The quality of the interval (such as major, minor, perfect, etc.) is determined by the specific number of half steps between the notes.
