What is the difference between an internal and external clock?

An external clock is usually located on another system and can be accessed with software. You can get software to sync your internal clock to that other system. The National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) hosts a clock that many computer users and businesses sync to.
Wow...can that answer be any more wrong?
Internal and External clocks are NOT referring to the "time of day" type clocks, they refer to the internal processor clock cycle or an external clock source. The clock cycle of a processor is the time it takes for the processor to execute a data instruction (very basic explanation there) and is measured as the speed of a processor, like a 2.6gHz processor can execute 2.6 billion clock cycles per second.
Now this is somewhat misleading as the processor speed itself is probably only 400MHz, but using an External Multiplier (clock multiplier, external clock), you increase the total amount of data the processor can execute in one clock cycle.
This is a VERY basic example and I don't have time to really go deep, so it's best to search for a more concise answer if you really require one.

Difference between internal and external inputs?
internal input is the one where we give inputs as well and external input is the clock input
What is the difference between 12hr clock and 24 hr clock?
days
What is the difference in the 12 hour clock and the 24 hour clock?
The difference between 12 hour clock and a 24 hour clock is that when you say 1:00am for a 12 hour clock you would say 0100 hours
Is the book the borrowers an internal or external conflict?
"The Borrowers" features both internal and external conflicts. The internal conflict arises when Arrietty struggles with her desire to explore the outside world versus her fear of the dangers it poses. The external conflict occurs when the Clock family faces threats from the humans in whose house they live.
5 What it is the basic difference between a register and a counter?
register has the same clock. counter do not need to have the same clock.
What is the body clock of the body?
Internal or biological clock
If people were in a closed room with no sunlight and clock would they know when to sleep and when to wake?
In science experiment paralleling this question thee subjects slept a lot during the initial stages but eventually adopted a circadian cycle of awake and asleep. It might not match the outside worlds status but what difference does it make. There is no rule that people have to set their internal clocks by your locations external clock.
Difference between Bus Clock and System Clock in Microcontrollers?
Bus Clock is based on the System Clock. In other terms Bus Clock is derived from system Clock. Bus Clock is usually half System Clock. (Busy Clock = System Clock / 2)
What is the medical term of body clock?
Internal or biological clock
What is the difference between a wing and an airfoil?
the difference is that the wing is attached to the bussom of a bird and an airfoil is attached to the clock of the plane.
What is an internal clock in a video game?
it's a clock that's in the system
What is the difference between timer and counter in microcontrollers?
timer uses internal clock frequency, and generates delay counter uses external signal to count pulses... Timer *the register incremented for every machine cycle. *maximum count rate is 1/12 of oscillator frequency. Counter *The register is incremented in response to a 1- to -0 transition at its corresponding to external input pin(T0,T1). *maximum count rate is 1/24 of oscillator frequency. *External I/P signal must be kept at least for one machine cycle
