A right circular cone is perfectly balanced on its circular base. Imagine a cone that has a circular base, but leans to one side - this is a non right circular cone.
A triangle is 2D, and has a square base. A cone is 3D, and has a circular base.

A parabola is the figure formed by the intersection of a circular cone and a plane that lies parallel to the edge of the cone. (the cone does not have to be a right [90°] circular cone).
In a right circular cone a line from the vertex to the center of the circular base is perpendicular to the base. In an oblique circular cone that same line will not be perpendicular.

A Right Circular Cone is one wherein the base of the cone is circular and the axis of the cone is perpendicular to the base and passes through the center of the base and the vertex of the cone.

Two nappes of a right circular cone meet at a point called the vertex.
If it is a right circular cone, it has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. If it is an oblique circular cone, it has one plane of symmetry.
The intersection of a right circular cone and a plane that is parallel to the edge of the cone is a parabola. However, if the vertex of the cone lies on the plane, then the intersection is simply two intersecting lines.
Main difference is that square pyramids have square bases, cones have circular bases. For this reason, they're calculated differently.
