An answer gives specific information directly relating to a question.  A response is any comment following a question whether or not it gives any information and whether or not it relates in any way to the question.\n\nExample:  "Is it going to rain today?"\n\nAnswer: "There's a 60% chance of rain."\nResponse: "I hate rainy days."

it is bcoz an answer exists.\n\na question is made or raised on an answer when the answer is already present.\n\nand now it is u who doesn't know abt the particular subject so u raise a question to have an answer.\n\nsimilarly another can raise the same question but in a different way.

I wonder the same thing.  One difference is that it is very hard to follow the thread in "Yahoo! Answers".  The question asker can edit their question; a responder can edit their response.  (Actually, if you want to respond to an updated question, it appears that you HAVE to edit your original response...)\n\nOn the positive side, you can shutdown a thread by "resolving it".

A question is a question mark. Every time you ask is a question. Anywhere there are lots of questions. So why you dont answer your question? Question will answer your question. And every question there is an answer. OK..

A short answer in English is when you do a question answered  with yes  or not  no question, example .Do you like speak English? the answer is Yes  I do or no I don't. So if  you ask about a different topic .Ex: what is your favorite class?  It' s for a long answer
