Oh, dude, it's like asking the difference between a hot dog and a hamburger. So, like, the main difference is just a phase shift of 90 degrees. Sine starts at zero, cos starts at one, but they're basically like two sides of the same math coin.

Oh honey, sit down and let me educate you. The only real difference between a sine graph and a cosine graph is where they start on the x-axis. Sine starts at 0 and cosine starts at 1. Other than that, they're just like two peas in a pod, oscillating away in trigonometry land.

The sine graph and the cosine graph are identical in shape, with the cosine graph shifted to the left by pi / 2, i.e. the sine starts at (x=0,y=0) and proceeds up with an initial slope of one, and the cosine starts at (x=0,y=1), and proceeds down with an initial slope of zero.
