Lewis was an Irish explorer who was a general and Clark was an English explorer who was a soldier.
Like actor Clark Gable, Audie left the US military as a Major.
William Clark held the rank of captain in the United States Army. He served in this capacity during the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 to 1806, which was commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. Later, he was appointed as a brigadier general in the Missouri militia.
Use the military rank.
To determine the difference in rank, you'll need to compare the numerical positions of the individuals or items in question. For example, if one person is ranked 5th and another is ranked 2nd, the difference in rank would be 3 positions. Simply subtract the lower rank from the higher one to find the difference.
The Army Major outranks an Army Captain. Their relative power might have more to do with their jobs and responsibilities, though.
Lewis was the main explorer who chose which path to take and Clark was the one to map the areas they traveled
Yes he was. William Clark was a lieutenant-captain and was in fact Lewis' superior prior to the expedition. However, once Jefferson assigned Lewis to the expedition, Lewis was promoted to Captain. Lewis always considered Clark his "co-captain" and kept secret the fact that Clark was of lower rank from the other members.
Meriwether Lewis was paid $40 a month, because of his higher rank and William Clark received $30 per month. There is a listing for pay for enlisted men ($5 a month), and sergeants ($8) a month. Drouillard, the hunter and interpreter, made $25 a month.

Clark would serve as governor of the Missouri Territory and he continued to lead Native American affairs for 30 years, enjoying a high reputation as an authority on the West. Many hunters, adventurers and explorers would visit him in St. Louis for advice. He died at age 69 on September 1, 1838, while at the home of his son, Meriwhether Lewis Clark.

John Colter was a private in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which took place from 1804 to 1806. He later became known for his explorations in the American West, particularly in the areas that would become Yellowstone National Park. His contributions as a mountain man and fur trapper were significant, but he did not hold a military rank beyond that of private during his time with the expedition.
Meriwether Lewis who had been appointed to the rank of Captain, was designated as the expedition "scientist". Prior to the expedition, Lewis went to Philadelphia for intense training by physician Benjamin Rush, astronomer-surveyor Andrew Ellicott, botanist Benjamin Barton, anatomist Casper Wister, and mathematician Robert Patterson. For three months he was tutored in the spring of 1803. The skills that Lewis learned would be passed on to Clark as they traveled. Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. Clark had rounded up some men from the mountains to help on the expedition.

Yes, the rank of major is higher than the rank of captain in the military.
