[Jerry Peres]

Could you please let me know what is the difference between dot edu and dot com? I am little bit confused, please explain the difference.

What's confusing you?

 

[Jerry Peres]

Which domain is best between two? And why we use dot edu domain.

This is a very odd question for you to ask since you already know the answer according to your other posts where you explain that dot com is best etc. Obviously this post serves some other purpose that isn't yet clear.
However I'll bite.

As of this moment there are 137,218,106 .com domains registered (according to the zone file at tldzonefile.com)
According to wikipedia there are less than 8,000 edu domains registered.
Anyone can register a .com
.edu can only be registered by education institutions
.com is in global use in every country for any type of website
.edu is not (being that there are so few and with registration restrictions)
.com regularly has 4 and 5 figure sales in a thriving aftermarket
.edu has none
