C Structures vs Unions Explained by jaseenamadappat is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Structures in C allocate separate memory for each member and allow access to all members simultaneously, while unions share memory among all members, with only one member holding a value at any time. The size of a structure is the sum of the sizes of all its members, whereas the size of a union is determined by its largest member. Structures are used for storing multiple values together, while unions are used to save memory when only one value is needed at a time.
