GUI-- GUI (pronounced gooey) is a type of interface that allows users to communicate with operating systems in the form of images/animations/audio as opposed to text. This interface presents the user with the information/actions available through graphical objects (like icons). Both mouse and keyboard can be used for the interaction. The user performs actions by directly manipulating graphical objects on the screen.

CLI:--Command Line (typically known as Command-line interface/interpreter or CLI) is a mechanism that allows interacting with the computer operating system by inputting (typing) commands. This is a text only interface, which only requires input from the keyboard (usually referred to as "entering a command"). Typically, Enter key is pressed at the end of a command, after which the computer will receive, parse and execute that command. The output of the command will be returned back to the terminal as text lines. Output may include a summery of the task and the actual result as well.

The command line interface is just a type of GUI (Graphical User Interface) ie. windows 2000, xp, vista, 7. They all look different because of the different GUIs.
