Line spacing is the space between the lines of code. Most programming languages ignore whitespace, which allows you to insert blank lines in order to help separate blocks of code to make the code more readable. However this is not strictly the same as line spacing, which is normally defined by the typeface employed by your code editor. Word-processing programs allow you to specify different line spacings depending on whether an element is a paragraph, a bullet point or some other construct. But programming editors are typically plain-text editors and do not generally have line-spacing characteristics, hence the need to insert blank lines.

The spacing between lines is called "line spacing" or "leading." The latter is a much older term and is a carry-over from the days when printing presses used movable text blocks to create print. Between lines of text, lead, a soft, easy to work with metal, was used to keep them in the press.

The spacing between letters is called "letter spacing" or "kerning." Again, the latter term is an older term that originates in the printing industry.
