Rubbish answers,
A bolt does not have fletchings. It is usually made from a single piece of material, often metal. The metal can be hammered at one end to create 'vanes'.
The vanes work to stabilize the projectile similarly to the fletchings on an arrow.
The projectile shot from modern hunting crossbows are arrows as they have fletchings and not vanes.
The projectiles shot from some competition crossbows are bolts as they are made from a single piece of material, which is sometimes just a straight shaft without any vanes.
There!

A bolt is used in a crossbow, an arrow is used in a standard bow.

A bolt or quarrel is a short projectile used ina crossbow, and an arrow is a longer one used in a longbow.

Bolts are for crossbows, arrows are for bows, bolts tend to be shorter, but in history they were sometimes huge and used as siege equipment.

bolts are usually shorter and a bit fatter than arrows. and they are for crossbows, but I'm sure you already knew that.
