What is the difference between a Page Layout and Master Page in SharePoint?

A Page Layout is nothing but a template which when used in conjuncture with the Master Page gives the look and feel and contents of the page. Each page layout has an associated content type that determines the kind of content that can be stored on pages based on that page layout. Master Pages and Page Layouts dictate the overall look and feel of your SharePoint site.

Page layouts contain field controls and Web Parts. All page layouts reference a master page that is based on the CustomMasterUrl property of the SPWeb class.
