If I'm not mistaken

Is there a difference between pansexuality and asexuality? I apologise if I sound a bit naive but they are new words to me, and I haven't done my research on both, some clarification would help lots, thanks

Big difference, c/p from Wikipedia:

Pansexuality (also referred to as omnisexuality or polysexuality)[1] refers to the potential for sexual attractions, sexual desire, romantic love, or emotional attraction, towards people of all gender identities and biological sexes.[2][3] Self-identified pansexuals may refer to themselves as gender-blind—that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.[4] The Oxford English Dictionary writes that pansexuality "encompasses all kinds of sexuality; not limited or inhibited in sexual choice with regards to gender or activity."[5]

Asexuality (sometimes referred to as nonsexuality),[1][2][3] in its broadest sense, is the lack of sexual attraction[4][5] and, in some cases, the lack of interest in sex.[6] Sometimes, it is considered a lack of a sexual orientation.[7] One commonly cited study placed the prevalence of asexuality at 1%.[8]
