I'm worried to know the difference between Lighting Network and Bitcoin
You compared it very bad.

You can not compare a coin with a non coin.
You can compare Bitcoin network with Lightning Network as two different layers (layer 1 - Bitcoin, and layer 2 - Lightning Network). The first and biggest difference is they are on different layers. Bitcoin transactions is on Bitcoin blockchain (layer 1). Lightning Network transactions is on layer 2 via Lightning Network channels.
