Whats the difference between an eagle and a hawk?

I know this question sounds a little stupid, but can anyone explain to me the difference?

True hawks are built for manoeuvrability, speed and agile hunting (short wings, long tail, long legs).

Eagles are built for stamina and power - longer, squarer wings and generally more powerful build.

You could have figured this out for yourself.

Eagles are a subset of hawks.

Have you seen the number of questions posted which could be trivially answered either with a Web search or by reading a dictionary/encyclopedia?  When you post a question that looks like it is part of that crowd, you're more likely to get a "JFGI" answer.

+1. Do your own research first. Then, if you need help understanding the information you've found, ask.
