The Roman rite comes from the diocese of Rome, and is different from the Byzantine Rite, which comes from the diocese in Byzantium, in the ways it celebrates its masses and decorates its churches.

What is the difference between the byzantine church and the roman church?

Not really sure what you are asking here, the "Roman" Church might be a way of referring to the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, or it might be referring to the diocese of Rome. Assuming you are referring to the Latin Rite, then the Byzantine Church also is a Rite within the Catholic Church, it is not as large as the Latin Rite, but it is every bit as ancient, and just as much a part of the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite. Are using asking for the physical differences between an actual Church of the Latin Rite as opposed to a Church of the Byzantine Rite?

What is the difference between orthodox and byzantine churches?

Some byzantine churches are Orthodox. And some Orthodox churches are byzantine. Other than that, there's no difference. There are Roman Catholic churches which follow the byzantine form of worship, since they ceased being Orthodox in the 1400-1700s but retained their liturgical practices. And there are plenty of Orthodox parishes which have never followed byzantine norms for worship (Russian, for example, or in some places, Western Rite, especially when an entire Anglican or Roman Catholic congregation has become Orthodox). If you hear someone generically refer to "THE Byzantine Church," they are probably referring generically to the Orthodox Church, giving credence to its roots in Greek thought, culture, and language.
