Both joints are enarthrodial (ball and socket joints), but the hip is more stable than the shoulder. This is out of necessity because the hip must support the weight of the body, while the shoulder does not have to. The cup in the hip that the head of the femur sits in is deeper than that of the shoulder holding the head of the humerus. This means less movement for the hip, but more stability.
A person is more likely to dislocate their shoulder. The hip joint is larger and the ligaments that attach the bones are larger/stronger. The muscles around the hip are also larger helping keep the bone in place

The shoulder socket is deeper than the hip socket because the shoulder joint sacrifices stability for mobility. This design allows for a greater range of motion at the expense of stability. In contrast, the hip joint is designed for weight-bearing and stability, so it has a shallower socket to provide better support for the body.
In the shoulder and also your hip is a ball joint. A ball joint is the most mobile joints of the human body. A ball joint allows you to use your legs and arms in a lot of different directions.
The pivot joint is the only joint that allows rotation. It consists of a rounded or pointed surface of one bone that fits into a ring or notch of another bone, allowing the bones to rotate around each other.
Both are ball sockets.
Both the hip and shoulder joints are referred to as ball and socket joints.

No, the shoulder joint allows a greater freedom of movement than the hip joint. The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wider range of motion compared to the hip joint, which is a ball-and-socket joint with more restricted movements due to its stronger and more stable structure.
Like shoulder joint, hip joint is also a ball and socket type of joint. It has adduction, abduction, flexion, extension, inward and out ward rotation and circumduction functions.
