I find no difference at all. when you cut and paste you are moving and
editing text, but when you are trying to make it look nice for people to
see, I still cal that editing even though you can call it formatting as
well.

Generally editing changes the content. Formatting changes the appearance.
Both can change the meaning.

It actually sounded like a homework question to me.

I agree with Charles: editing is for content and mechanics (punctuation,
capitalization); formatting is for appearance and functionality (page
layout, styles).
