Above और Over दोनों का use ऊपर के sense के लिए किया जाता है लेकिन ऐसा नहीं है की आप इनका use कहीं पे भी कर लें, तो आइये जानते है की की किस case मैं हम Above और Over का use करते हैं। Difference Between Above And Over

Apple, Orange, Mango, Coconut, Cherry, and strawberry are above the pineapple

Over = more than (numbers)

Note:Temperatures की बात अगर हो तो zero या Average के साथ Over का use नहीं करते हैं बल्कि Above का use करते हैं लेकिन इसे छोड़ कर कोई और context की बात हो तो हम दोनो Above या Over में किसी का भी use कर सकते हैं।
