Photos is all of your photos.

Events are a collection or group of photos.

Use your iPhoto's Help menu:

Effectively, there isn't any. They're just two different views of your Library.

Photos shows you everything in your iPhoto Library... Events only shows you what is in each Event.... could be 1 picture, could be thousands. There is always at least 1 Event in iPhoto... but there could be hundreds.

Just use the View ➙ Event Titles menu option:
