Honour is British English while honor is American English.
It depends who you are writing to, which country you are in and which form of English you're using for the other words, i.e. organise(organize)... to determine which word you want to use.

Honour is the British way of spelling the word that we Americans spell as Honor.

The only difference betrween honor and honour is that honour is the British way of spelling the word. They also spell color, colour.

Everyone in the English speaking world except Nth America spell honour that way.
The US particularly, spell many words differently to the rest of us.
For example; favourite, behaviour, defence, neighbour, recognise.
It's not wrong it's just different.

"Honour" is the British spelling of "Honor". The same goes for favour/favor; colour/color, etc. It's just that extra letter they added.

To answer your specific question, the difference is the width of the Atlantic Ocean.
