I'd suggest you listen to the different music of each. That's the biggest difference. There's a whole world between classical and jazz. Take the swung-note figure, or the culture even of the jazz world into account.
Alright, so the easiest way to answer is that Bach was Baroque and Mozart was Classical. However, I assume that isn't really the answer you're looking for.
Basically, there are a couple of key characteristics that you can listen for to try to identify or distinguish between one or the other.
Bach was known for counterpoint, or specifically the fugue. Virtually everything that he ever wrote (ever) uses counterpoint. Counterpoint is sort of like a "round", in that a single line of music will start and then a few seconds later the same line will start in a different voice. The main differences between a round and a fugue is that a round generally has only two voices while a fugue can have as many as four or even five. In addition, in a round the voices all start on the same pitch (note), while in a fugue the voices start on different pitches.
In contrast, Mozart generally stayed away from counterpoint. His music generally comes in the form of simple melody and harmonic accompaniment (a melody and background chords). This is in essentially the same format as the Bach example.
So there you go; a simple analysis on characteristic Bach music and characteristic Mozart music. If you're listening to a piece and it sounds like there are multiple voices playing counterpoint, you'll know that you're listening to Bach. If the piece instead contains a simple melody and some sort of repeating or simple melodic accompaniment, you'll know that you're probably hearing Mozart's work.

He had 20. Some of then became composers.
Mozart was great, and Bach was also great
Some people say that it was because of a stroke or pneumonia.
Actually, they are not the same person. Johann Christian Bach is the son of Johann Sebastian Bach . You can check http://www.jsbach.org/timeline.HTML for more information also. No, they are not the same person. Johann Christian as well as Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philip Emmanuel, and Johann Christoph (Johann was a popular name in their family) were all sons of Johann Sebastian Bach. For a complete Bach family tree you can look at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_family The confusion with the names probably stemmed from the Anna Magdalena Bach Notebook. One year, J.S. Bach gave his wife, Anna Magdalena, a birthday present - a beautiful notebook with blank pages for her and her children to copy their favourite songs into. This notebook has been preserved, and contains many pieces in the "gallant" style (simple and elegant, many are dance pieces). Some are pieces written by J.S. Bach himself, some are written by Anna Magdalena, some are written by one of the children, and some are written by family friends. Unfortunately, the names of the composers were never written in with the pieces (copyright wasn't a big deal in those days), so in the past, all of the pieces from the Notebook were published under the name of J.S. Bach. Now, more research has been done and we have a little better understanding of the respective composers. I hope that helps. Johann Christian Bach was descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach so no they are not the same person.
The Bach family was active during the 18th century and influenced the development of classical music. The Marsalis family, active in contemporary times, is mainly known for jazz. They are called musical dynasties because several family members achieved fame as musicians.

Impromptu speeches are given with little to no preparation, while extemporaneous speeches are delivered with some degree of preparation and research. In impromptu speeches, speakers rely more on their ability to think on their feet, whereas in extemporaneous speeches, speakers have more time to organize their thoughts and structure their arguments.
