There are 2 senators from each state each serving 6-year terms. The senator with the longer term in office is known as the "senior" senator while the other is known as the "junior" senator.
The difference is that the senior Senator has been in office longer than the junior Senator.

Yes she is the senior Senator and Susan Collins is the junior Senator.
Oh, dude, the terms "junior" and "senior" senators are based on their length of service in the Senate. The senator who has served for a shorter period is referred to as the junior senator, while the one with more experience is the senior senator. It's like a hierarchy based on how long they've been hanging out in the Senate club.
You look at how long each has served in the senate. The one who has served the longest is the "senior senator."
