Is shell and terminal the same?..

Answer / Pushpendra Katiyar

No, the shell and terminal are not exactly the same. The terminal is a program that provides a command-line interface for users to interact with the operating system through text. The shell is a process (program) running inside the terminal that interprets commands and sends them to the kernel.
