There is an excellent article from PC World ++ HERE ++.

As Pipeline answered, disk image is all of a hard drive gathered into one file. The file is not usable on its own. A program would have to break the disc image back into its component files and folders and install the components onto a hard drive.

Cloning copies everything between two drives.
