Oracle Instance vs Oracle Database

I have a basic question about instances and databases.



Does one Oracle Instance equate to only one Oracle database?



In other words, can I have separate databases running within one Oracle
instance??



I corelate this to having many separate MS SQL Server databases running
within one SQL Server instance (service).



I am a new Oracle DBA working with Oracle NT and Oracle Unix and my
question applies to both.



Can someone clarify this for me?  Many thanks.
