How do I break out of terminal commands?

Okay, this is an easy one.  I'm learning Linux and don't know the Windows equivalent to Ctrl-Break.

For example, I type "ping yahoo.com" at a terminal prompt and it just keeps going.... how do I stop it.  Another example is the "top" command, how do I exit the utility??

I'm stuck in a Windows world and want to escape soon!

I figured it out, Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z.... but what's the difference.  Does one Kill the process versus End?

'top' can also be exited by pressing 'q' by the way
