Essentially, the houses have an equal amount of legislative power (overall). However, each house has certain previledges denied to the other. For example, the House of Representatives is the only house that can propose revenue legislation (bills involving taxes). On the other hand, the Senate has much looser rules than the House. For instance, senators can debate bills as long as they please, while congressmen have limited speech. Actually, senators can even talk about other issues to the floor, unrelated to the bill, as the floor is deliberating. This is often used as a stalling tactic and is referred to a filibuster. Furthermore, there are only 100 senators, so the legislative power is more condensed, and senators have 6 year terms while congressmen only have 2 year terms. But as I said in the beginning, the houses in reality have equivalent legislative power.
