I think the explanation below/above is great. However, one wrinkle to keep in mind is this. Sass started out as its own language for implementing styles. That is to say, it was not based on the CSS syntax and was read/written very differently.
When version 3 of Sass came along it was still called Sass but it became SCSS, with the corresponding .scss file extension. This version of Sass IS based on the CSS syntax and any valid CSS is also valid SCSS.
There are still people who prefer the old syntax and use that. So both exist in projects in the wild. If you're interested in learning more this is a good primer: thesassway.com/editorial/sass-vs-s....
