There are differences between the two.
A visit is an actual person visiting your site. If I visit your site, then that counts as 1 visit.
A hit is the number of elements on your site. If I visit your site, and your site has 4 elements -- your HTML text, your logo graphic, 2 other graphics -- then that counts as 4 hits.
Hits are inflated numbers. It's worthless and meaningless. What's important are the pageviews, visitors and unique visits.

A visit is where one person comes to your site.
A hit can be calculated various ways (depending on the number you want to brag about.) but it's either a) the number of pages looked at by a visitor. or b) the number of items downloaded to build a page, looked at by a visitor. (i.e. HTML + 3 JPEGS = 4 hits).

Answers make sense.
When you go to a specific website you visit it. But when you do a search the browser returns (often hundreds) of hits; one for each address returned

when someone comes to your site that is a visit
each page they open or file they open on your site is a hit
