Answer / devsingh boda
Grounding: Connecting the live part (part which carries current under normal conditions) to the ground (earth).It is done for protection of devices under fault conditions.
EX: Transformer neutral
Earthing: Connecting the dead part (part which does not carry current under normal operating conditions) to the ground. It is done for protection of operators who operates the device.

Answer / kuldeep
grounding is use to protect the instruments from flow of
large current while earthing is the old name of grounding
done by the peoples for both purposes 1_to save the
instruments from the large current 2_to increase the level
of voltage in case of low voltage by giving water to that
place where earthing is carried out
