What's the difference between IQueryable and IEnumerable

I'm confused as to the difference. Being fairly new to .Net, I know I can query IEnumerables using the Linq extensions. So what is this IQueryable and how does it differ?

See also What is the difference between IQueryable[T] and IEnumerable[T]? that overlaps with this question.

IQueriable is the same as IEnumerable but it also provides additional functionality to implement custom querying with Linq. Here is description on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.linq.iqueryable.aspx
