Linear is a straight line and non linear could be a curve or anything but a straight line

You can measure things with a linear scale. Practically impossible with a non-linear scale.
A linear scale is a scale with equal divisions for equal vales, for example a ruler. A non linear scale is where the relationship between the variables is not directly proportional.
Nonlinear do not satisfy the superposition principle. Linear problems, as implied, do.
Linear graphs make straight lines. Non-linear graphs make thins like parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses.
