What is the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane?

The difference between a typhoon and a hurricane lies in the place where it is produced.

Typhoon and hurricane are the same weather phenomenon, but they are called differently in different countries. Generally, tropical cyclones generated in the Atlantic Ocean are called hurricanes, and tropical cyclones generated in the Pacific Ocean are called typhoons.
