After the fall of the Roman republic came the principate, or as it is commonly called the "empire", because the leader was the "Imperator", the one who commanded.
There really is no major difference. The Roman Empire was the empire itself, lasting from 27 BCE-476 AD (1453 for the Eastern half, which came to be the Byzantine Empire). In the beginning the Roman empire was an autocracy, headed by emperors. It then later turned into a republic, which is when people use the term Roman Republic or Republic of Rome. This is actually where the modern day type of republic comes from, Rome.

Neither. The ancient Romans ousted their kings in 509 BC and formed the republic. The republic was ruled by the Roman people (technically) who elected their officials. The period of rule by the emperors came after the fall of the republic and was called the principate.

You could say that the Roman Republic lasted 482 years because Roman history lasted for a very long time: 1,200 years. The Republic was preceded by 244 years of monarchy and 503 years of rule by emperors. Another question could be why the Roman Republic came to an end.

Augustus brought the Roman Republic to an end.
The impact of the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire upon the architecture of the time is hard. When it was made the republic was never restored. The installation of the Princeps came with it more structures of grand design. The Pantheon, the arch of Titus, and the Colosseum might serve as examples of this.
The Roman Republic lasted from the time of the kings until the civil wars in the first century BCE. The first Roman ruler that we call an emperor was Gaius Octavius -- or Augustus -- who ruled from 27 BCE to 14 CE. He didn't call himself an emperor, but "princips" or "first citizen."
