There are 2 main domains in the classification system. There is Eukarya and Prokarya. Eukarya has Eukaryotic organisms meaning that the cells have a nucleus and Prokary has Prokaryotic organisms meaning the cells don't have a nucleus. These a very basic cells that can live on there own with barely anything.

Domains are the highest level of classification in the taxonomic system. They represent the broadest groupings of organisms based on fundamental differences in cellular structure and biochemistry. There are three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
Carl Woese is credited with devising the concept of the three domains of life - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. This classification system is based on genetic and biochemical differences among organisms.
1. Archaea 2. Eubacteria 3. Eukarya
Archaea and Eukaryote are two different domains from the three domains of life classification. And Prokaryotes belong to two domains: the bacteria and the archaea.
They are both broad groups of classification in taxonomy.
The three domains - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya - reflect the diversity of life on Earth. Each domain represents a distinct evolutionary lineage, with unique characteristics and genetic differences. This classification system helps biologists understand the evolutionary relationships among different organisms.
