A Catholic Bishop and Archbishop are technically the same in "rank," however, an Archbishop is really a title given to a bishop in charge of a larger diocese, such as the Archbishop of New York.

The only rank higher than a Cardinal on Earth is a pope.

Um, that is not a direct answer to the question. A direct answer would be that a cardinal ranks higher than a bishop.

A pope is more important because a bishop is the catholic leader of the diocese, but the pope is the catholic leader of the world.

Who outranks a bishop?

The highest holy order is bishop, so bishops, archbishops, cardinals and popes are all bishops. However, in terms of rank, an archbishop is higher than a bishop, a cardinal is higher than an archbishop, and a pope is higher than a cardinal. The Pope appoints the cardinals, and cardinals appoint a pope. They are different things, and sometimes the same. An Archbishop is usually just the bishop of an Archdiocese. He may or may not be a Cardinal as well. A cardinal is not necessarily even a priest, although that is very uncommon in modern times, we still do have a number of cardinals who are appointed for one reason or another who are not bishops, and do not wish to be made bishops. They are not one higher than another, a Cardinal is just someone who has been honored with the responsibility of voting for the next Pope.
