An Exception can be caught and recovered: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException means you tried to access a position of an Array that does not exist - no big deal. 
 
An Error is unrecoverable: OutOfMemoryError means that the JVM has no more memory to contin

exception will give user friendly message which is defined in exception handling,whereas error message is standard given by oracle.

In Java Exception and Error are sub class of Throwable.

It is differentiated based on the program control.  Error such as OutOfMemory Error which no programmer can guess and can handle it.  It depends on dynamically based on architectire, OS and server configuration.  Where as Exception programmer can handle it and can avoid application's misbehavior.

For example if your code is looking for a file which is not available then IOException is thrown.  Such instances programmer can guess and can handle it.

In general error is which nobody can control or guess when it occurs.  Exception can be guessed and can be handled.

Error: Any departure from the expected behavior of the system or program, which stops the working of the system is an error. In general error is which nobody can control or guess when it occurs.

Exception: Any error or problem which one can handle and continue to work normally. Exception can be guessed and can be handled.

Note that in Java a compile time error is normally called an "error," while a runtime error is called an "exception."

also A method is not required to declare in its throws clause any subclasses of Error becuase this is an unchecked exception

The exception class defines mild error conditions that your program encounters. Exceptions can occur when trying to open the file, which does not exist, the network connection is disrupted, operands being manipulated are out of prescribed ranges, the class file you are interested in loading is missing. The error class defines serious error conditions that you should not attempt to recover from. In most cases it is advisable to let the program terminate when such an error is encountered.

An exception is a condition that is caused by a run time error in the program .When the java interpreter encounters an error like division by zero,it creates an exception object and throws it.

Exception is nothing but error but some difference whenever exception will raise program can execute continuously where as error program will not execute

exception are abnormal conditions and errors are the mistakes like syntax error or logical error.
