An applet is downloaded from the server to the client and is run in a browser as an application with limited capabilities for accessing local data (sandbox). It is also restricted to not accessing other sites than the one it was downloaded from.

A servlet is a server side program that handles client requests and sends back responses based on these requests.

A common use is an applet that sends requests to a servlet, which in turn accesses local data/databases/other servers for preparing and sending a response to the client (applet).
