What’s the difference between kernel and user space?
Kernel space is strictly reserved for running a privileged operating system kernel, kernel extensions, and most device drivers. In contrast, user space is the memory area where application software and some drivers execute. The term userland (or user space) refers to all code that runs outside the operating system’s kernel.

What’s the difference between the kernel and the memory?
The kernel runs in the part of memory entitled to it. This part of memory cannot be accessed directly by the processes of the normal users, while as the kernel can access all parts of the memory. To access some part of the kernel, the user processes have to use the predefined system calls i.e. open, read, write etc.
