The two share one thing in common - they are all consensus mechanisms in blockchain.
Which means they ensure users are honest with transactions, and reduces fraud such as double spending.

The main difference between these two is how they verify the blockchain transactions.
With PoS, Validators are chosen based on a set of rules depending on the "stake" they have in the blockchain.

The network randomly chooses validators to make sure the transaction is reliable.
Some examples: $ADA, $SOL, $ETH 2.0,..

With PoW, Verifying cryptocurrency transactions is done through mining. It’s like a competition between miners to solve cryptographic puzzles and validate transactions in order to earn block rewards.
Some examples: $$BTC, $ETH, $ETC, …

However, a coin always has two sides. They can not be perfect and better than each other.
The downside of PoS is the network requires an often enormous initial investment
-> To be qualified as a validator

The the drawback of PoW are it requires a significant amount of energy to verify transactions
-> less environmentally friendly than other systems.
