Same genus "Corvus", different species. In fact, there are 5 species of crows in the US, and two species of raven. In general, ravens are larger than crows (24" vs 18" for the most common varieties), have a shaggier appearance and a deeper voice.

The Raven is larger and conventional 25" tall (sixty 4 cm) with a 4 foot (122 cm) wing span and the beak is extra narrow and somewhat longer than a crows. A raven's feathers shine with blue and pink tints while the sunlight hits them. The Raven's tail while unfold meets at a triangular factor

Crows, ravens, jays and magpies are in the same family, Corvidae. Crows and ravens are in the same genus, Corvus. Australia has three ravens and three crows (one a visitor only)but all of them are called crows for convenience. Picking one species from another is often difficult.

Same family, but different species...Ravens are larger, heavier bills, have a diamond shaped tail (seen when in flight), and associated in more rural areas. Crows are smaller, thinner bills, have a square shaped tail, and more closely associated with urban areas. Both have different "calls" as well.

No. Both are from the same family but they are not the same species. The Raven is much, much bigger.
