Joy is short-term: happiness lasts a little longer.

Thank you for a good question.... most of us do get confused about these two.
Joy is an emotion ..... the opposite of sorrow. Happiness is an emotionless state.
Joy gives excitement and has a physical dimension such as impact on the BP, facial expressions etc. Happiness denotes a tranquil mind or calmness without physical ramifications.
Joy reduces stress momentarily...happiness removes stress.
Money can buy joy and pleasures, not happiness.
Joy is a positive imbalance of mind... happiness is a perfectly balanced mind.
Joy like all other emotions can blunt our logic faculty.... happiness sharpens all our faculties including logic.

aside from their spelling........joy is quite a part of happiness while happiness is a well-state of the mind and the heart.....you felt joy because you've done something good or yu' v been with your friends..you are happy because you have peace of mind despite of everything which sometimes seems so bad at all

Happiness is in the circumstances. Joy is in the heart.

As far as I think, joy is the great happiness or happiness that is mixed with disorder.

Joy is about feeling and as such a feeling.
Happiness is about state and as such a being.
The difference is sensation versus self.

Does it matter? If you focus on this kind of thing too much you're bound to miss both.
