what is the difference between Visuallforce Page & Visualforce Component?

Dear All, any body can plz explain the above difference, when we need to create a VF component? Are those two things related to each others ?
As i can create a VF page and make it work without the need of a VF component, what exactly it is ? Thanks

Hello Sourav
 The basic difference is that  Pages are static, components can be dynamic. Basic use of component is to reuse the component in your visual force pages.Once component can be used in multiple pages, which saves time, - Reusability. Here is a page that highlights the topic:

Visualforce component is a custom component that have functionality of custom logic, code and behaviour which wrapped inside <apex:component tag>. It is reusable piece of a visualforce page and it can be include other visualforce page as well.
