What is a Node in Godot?

A Node is the fundamental building block in Godot. Everything in your game — characters, UI, sounds, physics — is a Node. Nodes form a tree hierarchy where children inherit transforms from parents.

What's the difference between a Node and a Scene?

A Scene is a saved tree of Nodes that can be reused. Think of it like a prefab in Unity. Any node can be saved as a scene, and scenes can be nested inside other scenes.
