Not much. Rat snakes come in different color patterns and combinations than kingsnakes, and are usually a bit larger than king snakes. Other than that, they are very similar. They are both non poisonous colubrids, and make great pets. They also eat similar diets of small rodents and other animals such as lizards and bird eggs/baby birds (if flightless and they can catch them). I believe that they are from similar areas, which include the southwestern united states and northwestern Mexico.
