A session is usually for a user and only lasts from when they login to when they logout (or get timed out).
Application State has a much longer lifetime, is shared between all users, and is only cleared when the process is restarted.
Application and session objects are stored on the server.

Session variables have the scope within the user login session. Once the user is logged out, the session variables will have not any sense.

For example, when you login into Gmail, you might get user session based menu, storage, or settings etc.

Application variables scope to within the application scope. The application variables will get reset when the application is restarted.

For example, for application variables, website hit counter.
