world of difference
Complete change between
A world of difference is an enormous distinction between two things—so vast it might as well span continents.
The phrase emphasizes how dramatically things differ or have changed: There's a world of difference between knowing something and understanding it.
Often used to highlight transformation: A good night's sleep made a world of difference.
