Difference between start and run capacitors?

Whats up yall, commercial tech for about 6 years checking in here.

Just wanted to know if anyone knows WHY there are start vs run caps, and if the difference really means all that much? I never really thought about it to be honest. Dont remember learning about it in school, and everytime ive replaced a cap ive always just replaced it with an exact match. Somehow the other day another tech and I got on the subject and he claims tberes no difference, or at least, that the difference isnt enough to really matter in a pinch.

Sure I could google it but I thought I'd start a discussion here rather than another "help me wire my thermostat myself/am I getting ripped off" post.

Take care, happy holidays, fuck on-call, all that good stuff.
