A lytic virus begins to multiply right away. A lysogenic virus can "hide" for a very long time before multiplying.
See link below:
A type of virus that begins to multiply immediately after entering a cell is called a lytic virus. These viruses hijack the host cell's machinery to replicate themselves quickly, leading to the destruction of the host cell as new virions are released. This rapid replication cycle is a characteristic feature of lytic viruses.
When a virus enters a cell, it injects its genetic material into the cell. The virus then hijacks the cell’s machinery to replicate itself, producing more virus particles. This process can ultimately lead to cell death and the spread of the virus to other cells in the body.
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
The viral genome typically enters a cell during infection, which contains the genetic material needed for viral replication. The protein coat of the virus, known as the capsid, helps deliver the genetic material into the host cell.
The virus enters the host cell in the penetration phase.

Once the virus enters the cell, unless it is deformed in some way, it will have success.
A Latent Virus
A virus has proteins on its capsid that bind to living host cell. Once the virus has attached it enters the cell or inserts DNA/RNA into the cell.

The virus enters the host cell and uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself.
ex. a virus enters a cell, replicates, and then "lyses" (ruptures) the cell. those virus particles are now free to infect other cells.
Latent Viruses: some viruses can be latent. That means that after the virus enters a cell, its hereditary material can become part of the cell's hereditary material.
