They both disengage the engine from the drivetrain. The difference is that in Park, there's a pawl that catches a gear to stop the driveshaft from turning. In Neutral, nothing stops it so the vehicle can still roll.

One's park and one's neutral. Park will keep the car parked, neutral will not, and if your car has a high idle, it might even move forward itself while in neutral.

The P and the N position on the gear selector lever are the only ones that you can start your engine, all other gears won't let the vehicle start. In the cars of the 1950's the gear pattern was different, R was all the way down and some did not have P they relied on the parking brake to hold the vehicle in place. The N is also used for towing the vehicle if it won't start.
