Answer Posted / Kunwar Akram Ali
"User-space threads (also known as lightweight processes) are managed entirely within a process's address space by the application, while kernel-supported threads (also known as heavyweight processes or system threads) are directly controlled by the operating system kernel. User-space threads allow for greater efficiency due to less overhead and context switching, but they can only access resources of their parent process. Kernel-supported threads can access more system resources, but require more CPU time."
