What is the difference between Unity's Camera.ScreenPointToRay and Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint. And where we can use these. I've watched some tutorial and documentation but I didn't get a clear understanding.

ScreenPointToRay returns a ray, basically something pointing in the direction of the mouse from the location of the camera.

ScreenToWorldPoint point actually returns a 3d position under the mouse.
