APPLETS:
1)It is a special type of java program which runs
on any web browser.
2)Applets resides at server but when client makes a
request it completely loaded into a place in the browser.
that place is known as SAND BOX.
3)Applet lives inside the sand box only. it does'nt
have any access to any things which exists out side of the
sand box.
4) Applets can't communicate with any other server
except where they resides.
5)Applets are useful to develop the static web pages.
SERVLETS:
1) Servlet is a purely server side program
2) Servlets always runs in the server.
3) Servlets can be placed in any web and
application servers.
4) Servlets are useful to develop the dynamic web
pages.

(1):Applet is a part of Core JAVA and Servlet of Advance
Java. Applet is client side program and Servlet is Server
side. When Applet runs it take the resources of client
whereas Servlet is processed at server.
(2):An Applet's class, jar files can be accessed and
downloadable by client but not so in case of servlet.
(3):Applets can run under any web browser their execution
is dependent on Client as they require JRE Whereas Servlets
do not require any thing specific at client side, as they
require java enabled web/application Server.
