Um. One is hung above your head on telephone poles and the other is ran underground in conduit? Unless you meant something else?

Also burying cable costs ~10 times as much for transmission lines as overhead. It also usually has a lower power carrying capability, since it cannot dissipate heat as readily as an overhead conductor.

What happens to the ground when there is a thundercloud overhead?

When a thundercloud is overhead, the intense electric fields generated can induce a positive charge on the ground below. This in turn can result in the ground becoming positively charged, leading to a potential difference between the cloud and the ground. If the potential difference becomes large enough, it can result in a lightning discharge.

Difference between overhead cables and under ground cables?

Overhead cables are installed above the ground on poles or towers and are generally easier to access for maintenance but more exposed to weather conditions, while underground cables are buried beneath the ground, offering better protection from environmental factors but requiring more complex and costly installation and repair processes. Vazpo sells a wide range of cables including overhead and underground cables.(www. vazpocable. com)
