Bandwidth is akin to number of lanes on an interstate, latency is how long it takes each car to go from point A to B (or X, or wherever you’re measuring to).
Technically, bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous band of frequencies. It is typically measured in unit of hertz (so how “wide” is the signal) - in ye olden days the signal width corresponded to transmission capacity.
While latency is a measure of how long a specified bit of data took to transit a system, especially when compared against the “ideal” performance of the system.
