Hi Yuval,

In short;

  • Clear - specifies on which sides of an element where floating elements should not be allowed to float.

  • Float - Specifies whether or not an element should float, to left or to the right respectively.

Maybe this video can help you out to understand more the concept of floats.

Hope this helps ?
