Partial View is a smaller, reusable view component that can be rendered within a View or another Partial View.
View is a complete page or layout that can contain multiple Partial Views and is typically returned by a controller action.
Partial Views are useful for rendering common elements like headers, footers, or sidebars across multiple pages.
