whereas

Structured Query Language (SQL), pronounced "sequel", is a language that provides an interface to relational database systems. It was developed by IBM in the 1970s for use in System R. SQL is a de facto standard, as well as an ISO and ANSI standard. SQL is used to perform various operations on RDBMS

SQL - Structured Query Language - is an open, vendor-independent,
standardised language for accessing and manipulating data stored in
relational databases. The standards are defined by ANSI.

SQL Server is one of many products that supports and implements the SQL language.

If I write "SELECT SomeField FROM SomeTable" that's a SQL statement. Of course, by itself, simply typed into a text editor, it doesn't do anything. It must be executed by a database engine that understands how to translate the SQL statement into the low-level commands required to retrieve the data from the proprietary database format. SQL Server is one such database engine.

SQL:- Consists of a data definition language and a data manipulation language. The scope of SQL includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control............

SQL Server:-
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for different workloads (ranging from small applications that store and retrieve data on the same computer, to millions of users and computers that access huge amounts of data from the Internet at the same time).

Sql Server is the Database offering/ product of Microsoft. Examples of other database products are Oracle, MySql, etc. SQL is the query language that is used to handle/ manipulate data in the database (eg insert, select, update, delete, etc). ANSI SQL is defined by ANSI which is independent of Microsoft, Oracle, etc. The same ANSI SQL code should run on all ANSI SQL complient systems whether it be Microsoft Sql Server, Oracle, MySql, etc.
