Just thought, whats the difference between steps and stairs?

Are steps outside?

I think stairs are a set of steps.

I think...(scratches head)

I don't think there really is a difference...

That's one of those kind of queries.

Stairs are usually indoors and go from one floor of a building to another. Some people will say 'a staircase' rather than stairs. Occasionally you do find them outdoors, where streets are on different levels because of hillsides, or leading to the upper floors of a building.
Steps can have several meaning as you can see from the other responses. I think from your question you have in mind steps like a staircase but outside, such as up to a door. However you might also get steps inside on a corridor.
I would say the difference is in the length. I would expect stairs to go higher than steps and to be a narrower width. The Sacre Coeur has a lot of steps leading up to it but Notre Dame has even more stairs leading up to the bell tower.
I hope this helps. It's a good question.
