What is the difference between a gentleman and a noble?

The difference depended on place and time. Certainly the two groups overlapped, where they were considered distinct. A gentleman was usually considered to be a person who had a farming estate large enough that he did not work it, but peasant farmers lived and worked on it, a manor. This was distinct from the land owned by a yeoman, who worked his own, rather small, piece of land. In many times, a gentleman was considered to be a member of the nobility, even if he had not title. Without a title he was of lower rank and less consequence than a knight, and considerably lower than a baronet. He might have been called a squire, but the meaning of this term also changed with time. A noble was a member of a noble family, but this included all members, not just the ones who had titles of nobility. With a title of baron or of higher rank, a noble was a peer. Without that title, the noble was a commoner, just as a country gentleman was.

What type of land did the peasants own?

The peasant didn't own land. They were tenate farmers for the lord (landlord) and he may have provided a strip of land for a few crops that they could grow for food. They worked for him on the manor in turn for a place to live. ----- A peasant who owned land as a freeholder was called a Franklin or yeoman, depending on the time, as both these terms changed meaning with the time. Regardless of what he was called, the peasant farmer who owned land had between 30 and 120 acres, roughly 12 to 50 hectares. As near as I can determine, this could be about any agricultural land, and probably included woods for firewood.
