What's the difference between pip and pip3?

what's the difference in this examle?

python3 -m pip install virtualenv

and

pip install virtualenv

Are they the same thing?

IF python3 is your only python and python3 and python can both start it, then there is no difference. If python starts legacy python and python3 starts, well, python 3 then pip will install for legacy python and pip3 or your python3 example will install for python 3.
I am trying to help you, really, even if it doesn't always seem that way
