What is the difference between temporal and permanent redirect?

301 (Permanently transferred) - the most popular way of forwarding. This redirection is treated by Google robots as: "The content was available at address A but will now be available only at address B. This type of redirection makes the content available in search results only at one target address. This redirection is helpful, for example, in getting rid of duplicate content. The user usually doesn't even notice that a redirection has been performed, because it is done before loading any file related to the page.

302 (Temporal) redirection is very similar to 301. Main difference is that indexing robots treat this type of forwarding as "temporary". This only means that there is an old and a new address in the search engine index. From the user's point of view, it is difficult to see when the address changes.
