whats the differents between steps and stairs?

Answer 1

Good Question !! ;-)

Answer 2

More than 5 steps then they are called stairs.

Answer 3

Stairs go up, steps go down and vice versa.

In actuallity I think stairs are specifically for going up or down whereas steps get you from one place to another in a variety of forms. Stepping stones are usually level for example.

Answer 4

There has to be more than one stair, it has to be a flight of stairs. Steps are more likely to be outside, and don't need to lead to another floor. Like doorstep(s). However, I've never pictured the "stairway to heaven" Led Zeppelin sang about as being inside. So maybe I'm talking rubbish.

Answer 5

Steps lead from the ground to first level. Stairs join two levels. think steps as in "stepping up" to get into something. you climb the stairs to get higher.

Answer 6

Stairs join different floors. Steps join different levels on the ground.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Steps outside, stairs inside, with bannisters.

Answer 9

Stairs take you to a different level i.e. ground floor to first floor, steps take you to a raised or lowered area on the same level.
