In the grand piano, the soundboard is placed horizontally facing up, and thus you get a feel that the sound rises up and surrounds you, filling the whole room.
Additionally, because grand pianos are generally larger (longer strings and bigger soundboard) than uprights, the sound volume is bigger.
The soundboard is placed vertically. Because in the upright piano, sound comes out at the back and the back of upright piano is almost always placed against the wall, sound go into the wall and bounce off to you, so you get the feel that the sound comes straight to you making subtle control of musical expression more difficult.
Some high quality tall upright pianos may have a bigger sound volume and better quality sound than extremely small lower priced baby grand pianos.

Which is better for a beginner a digital piano or a grand piano?
Depends on who is the beginner. If it is someone who is very serious about learning the instrument than a grand or upright would be best. This is because grands and uprights have better sound quality. When learning this quality is important because it trains the ears to listen for the right thing. Also dynamics, pedal, and other ornamentation is better accomplished with an upright or grand. Digital pianos are good for those who are not too serious about the instrument because the are much cheaper. Those who live in apartments or duplexes are better off to get a digital piano because you can use headphones with them.
