Just read the respective websites. Both have one-line descriptions on  
their sites.

Moodle: "Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open  
Source software package designed using sound pedagogical principles,  
to help educators create effective online learning communities."
http://moodle.org/

Plone: "Plone is a user-friendly powerful content management system -  
ideal as an intranet and extranet server, as a document publishing  
system, a portal server and as a groupware tool for collaboration  
between separately located entities."
http://plone.org/products/plone

Plone is a general purpose content management system, while Moodle is  
especially geared towards course management.
