The density of uranium is 19,1 g/cm3.
The density of plutonium is 19,816 g/cm3.
Uranium and plutonium are very heavy metals belonging to the element category actinide encompassing the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium through lawrencium. Three uranium isotopes occur in nature versus only trace amounts of one isotope of plutonium. Of course the nuclear, chemical, physical and toxicological properties of uranium and plutonium are very different.
Uranium is the main fuel used, but in some countries a mixture of uranium and plutonium is also used (MOX fuel)
Plutonium is the element named after the planet Pluto. It is a radioactive element with a half-life of thousands of years, not millions.

Uranium is a natural chemical element, plutonium is an artificial element (but note that plutonium exist also naturally in the earth crust in extremely low concentrations). Uranium has the atomic number 92 and plutonium 94. The critical mass of uranium is greater than the critical mass of plutonium. The melting and boiling points of U and Pu are different. Uranium has an orthorombic crystalline structure; the structure of plutonium is monoclinic. And many other physical and chemical properties are different.

Plutonium and enriched uranium are different materials.Enriched uranium is uranium with a concentration of the isotope 235U greater than the natural concentration of 0,7 %.

Uranium and plutonium are naturally occurring elements found in the Earth's crust. They are formed through processes like nuclear decay of other radioactive elements or through supernova explosions. Both uranium and plutonium are used as fuel in nuclear reactors and in the production of nuclear weapons.
Yes, plutonium is a man-made element. It is primarily produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons. Isotopes of plutonium are used in the production of nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear reactors.
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
