An email address and URL (Uniform Resource Locator) differ from each other in the following ways:

Email Address	URL
It is a unique electronic address from where e-mails can be sent or received.	The Uniform Resource Locator denotes the global address of web documents and web resources.
An e-mail address consists of two parts - a Username and a Domain Name, separated by the @ ('at') symbol.	A URL consists of four parts — scheme, host, domain and path.
We always use an '@' symbol in an e-mail address.	We don't use an '@' symbol in a URL.
For example, abc.2012@gmail.com, xyz@yahoo.com.	For example, http://www.google.com, http://www.cbse.nic.in.
