Solution file vs. Project file in Visual Studio

Viewed 17970

Can someone briefly explain to me the difference between Visual Studio's solution file (.sln) and project file (.vcproj).

It seems to me opening either one open the correct solution/project in Visual Studio. Is one the super-set of the other?

Note: I am currently using Visual Studio 2008 working on a project that was brought forward from Visual Studio 2005 (I believe).
