Sensible heat:

An increase or decrease in heat does not change the state of a substance; it merely causes a change in temperature. This type of heat is called sensible heat.

Latent heat:

During a phase change, the temperature remains constant while the state of the substance changes; the heat absorbed or released by the substance at this time is called latent heat.
