The first hierarchy is composed of the Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones (in order from 1st to 3rd)... and then there are other hierarchies as well... hope this helps some.

Answer 5

A Cherub is a certain type of Angel.

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Descriptions in the Bible vary, but in general where a description is given cherubim are described as winged angels combining human and animal features. In the Book of Genesis, cherubim are described as blocking the way to the Tree of Life, at the eastern side of the Garden of Eden, armed with flaming swords.

The Books of Kings, and the corresponding parts of the Books of Chronicles, state that in Solomon's Temple were two olivewood sculptures of cherubim plated with gold, ten cubits high, standing wingtip-to-wingtip, with the Ark of the Covenant between them[2]; according to the Book of Exodus and Book of Numbers, the Parochet (a curtain in the tabernacle) had been embroidered (on the Holy of Holies side) with a design that featured cherubim, and the ark itself had two small golden cherubim, facing one another, on the cover. The text states that the outstretched wings of the cherubim, in Solomon's Temple, touched together. The Tanakh refers to "God who dwells between the cherubim". Exodus 25:20, describes the cherubim as having their faces bent downward towards the cover, but with their eyes still turned toward one another. A traditional Jewish interpretation of these Biblical passages is that the cherubim create a metaphorical seat for the Shekhinah of God.

Cherub
"cherub, plural cherubim, kind of angel. Cherubim were probably thought of in the ancient Middle East as composite creatures like the winged creatures of Assyria. In Jewish tradition, they are described (Ezek. 10) as having four faces and four wings and also as beautiful young men; but late Christian art made plump children of them, as in Raphael's Sistine Madonna. With the seraphim (see seraph) they are said to be in the very presence of God. The color surrounding them is traditionally blue. "
Angel
"A celestial spirit, said to serve God in various capacities, such as acting as a messenger, or as a guardian of individuals. In traditional Christianity, angels were understood to have been created before the world. They feature prominently in Christian art, often depicted with a human body and wings. They are sometimes held to be objects of devotion." usually appear as a man not an animal or creature
