Starting with the same list we used before, each item in the list gets printed on its own line.

loop.py

words = ["Hello", "Python"]

for word in words:
    print(word)

Hello
Python

On the contrary, if we loop over a string we see that each character gets printed on its own line.

loop.py

phrase = "Hello Python"

for letter in phrase:
    print(letter)

H
e
l
l
o
 
P
y
t
