margin is the distance between objects or to the edge, padding is the distance from the object outline to its content

I think firebug demonstrates this rather nicely.
The inner most part is the content, then padding, then border, then margin.
If there is no bored the padding and margin appear to be the same, but aren't. I've found a few people got these mixed up when they started learning because of not using a border.
Here is a screenshot of a random div in firebug.
