A carbon having three $σ$ $sigma$ and one $π$ $pi$ bond is $s p^{2}$ $sp^2$ carbon.
While a carbon having 2 $σ$ $sigma$ and 2 $π$ $pi$ is $s p$ $sp$ carbon.

eg. $O = C = O$ $O=C=O$ In the molecule of carbon dioxide ( $C O_{2}$ $CO_2$ ) , carbon is having 2 $σ$ $sigma$ and 2 $π$ $pi$ so the carbon is $s p$ $sp$ hybridised.

eg. in ethene ( $C_{2} H_{4}$ $C_2H_4$ ) each carbon is having 3 $σ$ $sigma$ and one $π$ $pi$ , hence $s p^{2}$ $sp^2$ hybridised.
