Difference between Infrared homing and Surface-to-air missile

Infrared homing vs. Surface-to-air missile

Infrared homing is a passive weapon guidance system which uses the infrared (IR) light emission from a target to track and follow it. A surface-to-air missile (SAM, pronunced), or ground-to-air missile (GTAM, pronounced), is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft or other missiles.
