A saturated solution of somthing that is pretty insoluble would be dilute. But an unsaturated solution of something very soluble could actually be quite concentrated.

Dilute means not much solute. Unsaturated means less than the saturation limit.

hey, my wording wont be fancy but: A saturated solution means a solution cant dissolve any more solute. so an unsaturated solution is when more solute can be dissolved. When a solution is dilute, it's ratio of solute to solvent is less or little
