Both of them express ‘higher than’, but there are some differences:
- as preposition, we use above when something is at a higher position, but it doesn’t touch a person or an object, there is no contact between them.
Example: I see a plane above the city.
- as preposition, over has a similar meaning, but expresses that a higher object covers or even touches a lower object, so there is a contact between them.
