From my understanding sniffing is generally related to data sniffing, which is the act of capturing packets of data sent across the network/internet. Spoofing is fooling a technology into thinking something other than the default of what it would normally.

Sniffing:
Reading packets but otherwise leaving them, an example would be sniffing a password on the way to a server- The password reaches the server but you keep a copy.
Spoofing:
Faking to be someone else, for example tricking the client you are the legitimate server so it sends the passwords to you.

Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).
