a divorce is a declaration by the state that two people who were once married are not married (legally) anymore.
an annulment is something that must be granted to a divorced couple by the catholic church that says that the marriage was never valid. just because you're divorced does not mean you can get an annulment, and, according to the catholic church, unless you receive an annulment you are still married to that person. since catholics do not believe in polygamy, that means you can't be remarried until you get an annulment.

An annulment means complete elimination, like it's null or void.- whether it be for marriages or a number of other things. So the marriage is wiped out from existence, and it "never happened".
The divorce, as Kate said, means that both parties recognized the marriage happened, but it isn't happening anymore.

It's basically the same thing.
An annulment "erases" the marriage all togther.
A divorce says the marriage happened but it ended.
For example:
A pencil can erase something. It's gone & no more, never happened, etc.
A pen you can cross out, scratch out, write over, etc. but you can't actually erase it. It's still there.
An annulment is the pencil with its eraser.
A divorce is the pen.
You can erase a marriage with an annulment. You can only cross it out with a divorce.
It's more difficult to get a marraige annuled than it is to get a divorce (I think, anyway).
