No difference, both are very similar only difference is that in the SQL editor you cannot take advantage of things like SQL serverless clusters, better visibility of data objects and a more simplified exploration tooling. SQL in notebooks mostly run through Spark sessions so you'll be limited but what's available in that scope.

Hope that helps a bit.
