what is difference between kernel and shell?

Answer Posted / kumaresan

Shell is a user program or it's environment provided for
user interaction. Shell is an command language interpreter
that executes commands read from the standard input device
(keyboard) or from a file.

Shell is not part of system kernel, but uses the system
kernel to execute programs, create files etc.
