A Bishop is responsible for one diocese and is responsible answerable to an Archbishop. The Bishop of Liverpool is responsible to the Archbishop of York

A bishop is a person paid by the rich to suppress Christianity. An archbishop is better at it, and gets paid more.

There is no major difference between the two. A bishop is a priest who having been chosen as "shepherd of a flock" is installed in apostolic succession. It is the duty of a bishop to look after his priests and their congregations. An Archbishop has a higher prestige in that he leads his flock in a particular diocese of great importance, ie. York or Canterbury (Anglican) or Liverpool , Birmingham, Westminster (Roman Catholic.) The Orthodox Churches are also episcopal, ie. governed by Bishops

In Christianity, an archbishop is an elevated bishop.

Archbishop is the head of the church of England (second only to God!) and his bishops are head of the vicars and are elegible for election to Archbishop when the time comes. Equivelant to the Pope in the Catholic Church.

It's only a Catholic thing, and it largely means that you're a bigger Catholic ***-kicker than your regular bishops. Probably it also means that you get more money from the home office in Rome, or more accurately that you don't have to kick up as much to Rome and get to keep more of your tithes.
Realistically these days it means you're in charge of a really huge congregation, but one that isn't *quite* ready to have a Cardinal. Which, church politics being what they are, means the other cardinals would prefer less competition. There has apparently been, though I can not ever possibly prove it, some serious wrangling over whether some folks in the US and especially Europe should be removed as cardinals, where others in Africa should be added. Again, I have no proof, merely hearsay.

An archbishop is a bishop who arches his back.
