What is the difference between "Static" and "Transient" variables with respect to VISUALFORCE Page only.
Both are aren’t transmitted as part of the view state for a Visualforce page. Then what makes difference?

Below is the sample code I have written to understand this concept. But not understanding the exact difference.

VF Page Code
<apex:page controller="ViewStateVFCon" action="{!Method1}">
<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock id="pb">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!StaticVar}" var="Tab1">
<apex:column headervalue="Record ID">
<apex:outputText value="{!Tab1.id}"/>
</apex:column>
<apex:column headervalue="Record Name">
<apex:outputText value="{!Tab1.Name}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>


<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>


<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!transeintVar}" var="Tab2">
<apex:column headervalue="Record ID">
<apex:outputText value="{!Tab2.id}"/>
</apex:column>
<apex:column headervalue="Record Name">
<apex:outputText value="{!Tab2.Name}"/>
</apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>

<apex:commandButton action="{!Method2}" title="Refresh" value="Refresh" reRender="pb"/>
</apex:form>

</apex:page>

VF Controller
public with sharing class ViewStateVFCon {
    public static List<Account> StaticVar {get;set;}
    public transient List<Account> transeintVar {get;set;}
    public void Method1 (){
        system.debug('Action Method1 from Page Action==    ');
        StaticVar = [select id, name from Account limit 20];
        transeintVar = [select id, name from Account limit 20];
    }
    public pageReference Method2 (){
        system.debug('Action Method2 from Command Button==    ');
        return null;
    }
}
