Minor arc
There are three possibilities for the arc that lies between the sides of an angle (at the centre of the circle):semi-circleminor arcmajor arcWith any two points of the circumference of a circle they will make an angle at the centre of the circle.If the angle is 180o, then the two points lie on either end of a diameter and both arcs are the same length and are a semi-circle.Otherwise, the minor arc is the shorter of the two arcs, the major one is the longer one:The minor arc is the side of the angle that is smaller, ie the angle is acute (< 90o), a right angle (= 90o) or obtuse (> 90o & < 180o).The major arc is the side of the angle that is bigger, ie the angle is reflex (> 180o).
There is no direct relation between the area of a sector and the length of an arc. You must know the radius (or diameter) or the angle of the sector at the centre.
An arc can be measured either in degree or in unit length. An arc is a portion of the circumference of the circle which is determined by the size of its corresponding central angle. We create a proportion that compares the arc to the whole circle first in degree measure and then in unit length. (measure of central angle/360 degrees) = (arc length/circumference) arc length = (measure of central angle/360 degrees)(circumference) But, maybe the angle that determines the arc in your problem is not a central angle. In such a case, find the arc measure in degree, and then write the proportion to find the arc length.
you will need to know the angle subtended by the arc; arc length = radius x angle in radians

the world may never know :D
They are normally the same. However, the measure of the arc could refer to the angle subtended at the centre of the radius of curvature.
The relation between the arc of length and the central angle is that the arc of length divided by one of the sides is the central angle in radians. If the arc is a full circle, then the central angle is 2pi radians or 360 degrees.

there is not much difference

There is no difference in meaning between the two. It is usually spelled in lowercase, though (arc tan, or arctan).
minor arc
A central angle has its vertex at the center of a circle, and two radii form the Arms. Central angle AOC is described as subtended by the chords AC and by the arc AC. An inscribed angle has its vertex on the circle, and two chords form the arms. Inscribed angle ABC is also described as subtended by the chord AC and by the arc AC.
