Transmission lines are used for large distances and they have higher voltage so that they can transport more electricity. In other words, the transmission line carries the electricity from power plants to substations.

Distribution lines are used to transport electricity for a short distance. As the voltage is lower, they can transport electricity locally. It carries the electricity to the homes from the substation.
