Dude, don't even ask, we are people, and we were born to talk and explain, and be curious!
Snowflake is a bridge, it helps people bypass restrictions applied by their governments/networks
Relay is a tor node/hop, this is what makes tor possible, be one of the nodes people's traffic goes through (without allowing them to access the normal internet) Doing this helps decentralization of the tor, and prevents big organizations from pinpointing users
Thanks ๐
