"AM means amplitude modulation and FM means frequency modulation. Think of it as amplitude is like strength and frequency is like style."

"Signals that are based on amplitude modulation (strength) are more susceptible to noise (static) because the signal strength can be affected by other factors, and it's harder to filter that static out.
Signals based on frequency (style) are less susceptible to noise because their "strength" may be affected but not their "style", and it's easier to filter out the noise.
Strength-based signals can go further but they lack style (quality), whereas style-based signals can't go as far but they retain their quality."
