Knowledge refers to information or awareness gained through experience or education whereas understanding refers to knowing or realizing the intended meaning or cause of something.
Knowledge is greater than understanding.
Knowledge and understanding are closely interrelated. You can count the names of the Presidents of US, but it is based upon your understanding that US is a country that elects its Presidents every four years and that some Presidents have served two consecutive terms.
Both understanding and knowledge are essential, and one is incomplete without the other. If you as a student understand the concept explained by your teacher but have gained no knowledge, you get nowhere. Similarly, knowledge (facts) without understanding are merely examples of your good memory.
