What is the difference between clicks and visits in Google Analytics?

Click - A click is a term generally used in connection with campaigns because the most important information is - how many times did a particular campaign ad bring a visitor to my site?

Visits – The number of visits to your website. A single unique visitor could be responsible for many if about an hour passes between them taking action (eg they leave your website open on a tab in their browser and forget about it until they click on it an hour later).
 
A visitor may click your ad multiple times. When one person clicks on one advertisement multiple times in the same session, AdWords will record multiple clicks while Analytics recognises the separate page views as one visit. This is a common behaviour among visitors engaging in comparison shopping.
