      Knowledge is about being familiar with someone or something, for example knowing lots of facts about a certain thing. For example you might know dinosaurs are extinct.

      Intelligence is about understanding what these facts mean in a wider sense. Reasoning why the facts are true. For example it takes intelligence to wonder why the dinosaurs are now extinct and come up with a theory that makes sense taking into account all the facts.
