Thanks to all friends for this information like me many other people get confused between them and templates.

Theme refers to a set of files which control the HTML generation/presentation. For each request the drupal and modules create the data as a data structure (associative array or object). The theme layer takes this data and creates HTML. It also has css files to control styling.

Template in the context of a theme are files with the html code, with placeholders for actual data. in the case of php templates the placeholders are php variables. Template files contain the html generated for a particular piece of content like node, block etc.

Theme = lots of files in a folder - for example; page.tpl.php, node.tpl.php, block.tpl.php, style.css, template.php
Template = one file, for example; page.tpl.php

A theme is therefore many files that work together and a template is just one of the files .

Templates are files that help you design interesting, compelling, and professional-looking documents. They contain content and design elements that you can use as a starting point when creating a document.

To give your document a designer-quality look ? a look with coordinating colors and fonts ? you'll want to apply a theme. You can use and share themes among the Office for Mac applications that support themes, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

The term theme is used whan there is a CMS already built and you change the design by adding a files in the template folder and set it from teh admin panel the exact way what you do with Wordpress themes.

But Template is refered when you create the entire website in a design which is in HTML and static.
