There are SEVERAL 9mm cartridges- the most common is probably the 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger). A 9mm Parabellum BULLET (not cartridge) is typically slightly smaller than a .38 Special bullet- .356 instead of .357. The 9mm is frequently (not always) lighter- and shorter. Other 9mm cartridges (such as the 9mm Makarov) will have different bullets.

What is difference between a 38 caliber bullet and a 9mm bullet?
Not muchThe diameter of a .38 special bullet is 0.358 inch, which is 9.09 mm. ALOT. the diameter isn't the only thing to consider. although the calibers are close the 9mm and 38 special are no where near each other. a 9mm is usually 9 x 19mm and is 115-124 grains and a 38 special is approx. 9.07 x 39mm near 160 grains and obviously packs more of a punch. fire a 9mm and then a 38 special and it will make sense.
