It varies from state-to-state depending on how the law was written. Also, the penalty can vary if it took place during daylight or darkness - whether the residence was occupied at the time, or not.

It is a felony offense which can be punished by one year in prison or more. However since the particulars of the offense and your past record (if any), and the state are unknown there is no way that this question can be answered.

Whats the different between burglary and burglary habitation?

Although the two terms are commonly used inter-changeably, "robbery" is an entirely different crime than "burglary." Robbery involves taking something from a person by use of threats, force, or fear. Burglary involves removing property from a premises or building. Since the charge specifies "habitation" it specifically relates to a dwelling place and not a commercial establishment. Usually, burglary of a 'dwelling place' carries a higher penalty due to the fact that the odds of encountering a victim/occupant of the residence is greater, thus the greater possibility of potential violence.
