's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird

How are the orbital different in sublevels of the same principal energy level?

the orbitals of the sublevels of the same principal energy level differ in shape which describes where the electron is likely to be found. Also the orbitals of sublevels have different energy levels. In ascending enegy in any level s < p < d < f < g etc HOWEVER whether the different sublevels exist depends on the principal energy level ie 1s 2s, 2p 3s, 3p, 3d 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f
