How are WPF and Silverlight different?

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between WPF and Silverlight, what features have been added and removed from WPF in order to get Silverlight?

First Silverlight is an implementation of the CLI just like MS.NET and Mono. That is SL owns a BCL and a Garbage Collector among other features while WPF is a library framework. SL provides a subset (an useful one) of the presentation capabilites that WPF offers and add a few things new like VisualStateManager.

you should check the online documentation, there is the complete list.
