What is the difference between a hyphen and a dash?

The length of a hyphen is shorter than the length of a dash.

Hyphens are typically used in compound adjectives, while dashes can be used to indicate an interruption, or a substitute for parentheses or commas. 

There are two types of dashes (em and en) but there is only one type of hyphen.
All of the above.
