Well actually it's pretty simple, the JRE is the java runtime environment. The JVM is the virtual machine that java apps and applets run on. the JVM is packaged in together with the JRE which contains the Java API (the programming interface which provides class libraries so that programmers don't have to create classes for simple operations). Basically the JVM (a virtual processor) works with the API (which works as the interface) to run a java application.

Doubt that anyone can explore it to its depth and epical. That's a big order.
The main differece is that JRE is "the real thing". It is the Java program written by Sun Micro, the creators of Java.
JVM is Microsoft's "clone" of Java, which got them (once again) taken to court and sued for copyright infringement.
