a motor is powered by electricity in the motor you have winds of wire that take an electric charge,this is dischached thru a magnet. this in turn creates a feild which drives the stater and makes the motor spin that is how a motor works an engine however works on pistons compressing a liquid enuff to turn it into gas which is then ignited by a spark plug in a gasoline engine, or purely by compression in a diesel engine the burning of the fuel creates pressure which in turn forces the piston down ,which turns the crankshaft,which turns the drive train
