The fundamental difference between "ser" and "estar" is in their usage. Ser is used for more permanent traits, and for identification of material, origin, and possession. Estar is used for less permanent traits, to situate things within spatial and temporal contexts, and to form progressive tenses.

What is the difference between como esta and estas?

Es is from the verb ser, and esta is (probably) from the verb estar, but the a should be accented. Ser is used for: Date (May 3rd), Occupation, Characteristics, Time, Origin (you are French or you are from Delaware), and Religion; DOCTOR is the acronym. Estar is used for: Emotions, Location (you are in the library) and Feelings; ELF is the acronym, and yes it repeats in order to be a proper acronym. *In other words, ser= permanent features while estar= constantly changing things. Yes, you can change religion, but usually people don't change their religion every day
