Sad that you can not be bothered to follow the link to get the answer for yourself. Since clicking and reading is too difficult, here is a summary of the answer:

The full client is a complete install of the client s/w and all supporting files into an Oracle home, together with appropriate registry entries, inventory, and other wonderfulness.

Instant client is the minimum software - lay it down on disk and include it in the path. Bingo, it's up and running. No 'install', no muss, no fuss, no bother.
