Difference between web application and web service

Web application is a application which is present at the server and the web application uses the web pages as a presentation of content for human users.The data of a web application is stored and manipulated at the server side.In short  the web application resides on a server and it is a collection of web pages  defined using "html,jsp,asp" e.t.c. these can be invoked by a web server like IIS or Apache upon user request.

On the other had a web service provide service to other application and they are not directly used by the end users.It is server based program which cannot be accessed by the client browser and provides for interaction between other application.The web service do not normally have a GUI based interface and used normally by programmers ,web developers to develop other web based application.
