In sulfur dioxide (SO2), the oxygens are bonded to the sulfur with a resonating double/single bond, and the sulfur has a lone pair around it. So with three things around the sulfur, it forms a trigonal planar geometry, but since you cannot see the lone pair on the sulfur, you say that the structure is "bent". The bond angle is about 119 degrees.

The molecular geometry of water (H2O) is bent or angular with a bond angle of approximately 104.5 degrees. This shape is a result of the two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom that repel the bonded pairs, causing a deviation from the expected linear shape.

Sulfur dioxide or SO2, contains 2 oxygen atoms double-bonded to a sulfur atom. It has a bent molecular structure with 120 degrees between the two oxygen atoms.
