The main difference between “than” and “then” is that “than” is used as a conjunction to

introduce the second element in a comparison, whereas “then” is used to refer to a time

that is subsequent to the present time or to a time that has been specified.

Pronunciation: The word “than” is pronounced with a sound of “a” /than/ and “then” is

pronounced with a sound of “e” /then/.
