Period is based on seconds while Duration is based on calendar


units.

Period is for containing recurring times while Duration is for


containing single time points.

Period is for containing date/time difference that is longer than one


year while Duration is for containing date/time difference for less
than a year.

Period works only with zoned or offset date/time while Duration


can make calculations based on local date/time.
