Whats the difference between a loop and a flip in figure skating?

They seam exactly the same thing except one takes off with a three turn/mohawk and the other just skates backwards and jumps... ? is there anything more to it? lol

Whats the difference between a loop and a flip in figure skating?
i dont know all the details, but this is what i know so far....





flip: pick back with the skate you will land on and spring off an inside edge.





loop: no toepick assists. only springing up off the back outside edge (the same one you will land on)











EDITED!!





lol ok...





both the flip and lutz have toe pick assists from the landing foot. the difference is that the lutz takes off from an outside edge. the flip takes off from an inside edge...
Reply:Flip-uses the pic


Loop-doesn't use the pic


look it up on youtube or something to see what they look like
Reply:the air position is exactly the same but one is an edge take off and one in a toe take off. to do a flip you pick your toepick in the ice but with a loop all you have to do it from a back edge
