Whats the difference between explicit and implicit information?

Explicit information is information that obviously details what it wants to get across ie. in two hours the sun will go down. This information is clearly stated without any hidden meanings. Implicit information is the opposite. Implicit information conveys an idea rather than stating outright what is happening. In fiction, it is often used for character description so the reader gains an impression of the character without the author explicitly telling them.

When the idea is obvious and clear by the words you use - that's "explicit" information that leave no room for doubt or debate. Whenever the meaning or idea of a sentence is not obvious, yet is hinted at - that's "implicit" information - and can be understood by reading 'between the lines.'

Implicit information is where the meaning of the text is suggested but is not stated directly. ‘Implicit’ comes from the word ‘implied’, so it is information that implies further meaning.

Explicit information is the opposite and is directly expressed so that the reader does not need to draw anything further from the text.

Implicit – An idea may be suggested though not fully expressed.

Explicit - stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.

Explicit is the clear meaning of the word or phrase. Implicit is what is implied. For example if you say, ‘It’s cold in here.’ You are explicitly saying that the temperature is cold and that it has affected you. You feel cold. The implied meaning might be that you are subtlety asking for someone to close the window.
