What is the difference between short run and long run situations in AP Microeconomics?

I have been trying to google it for the last 2 hours for an explanation and I really don’t understand it. Does it have to do with certain companies seeing changes in the near or far future, depending on the industry? Anything helpful will be appreciated.

In the short run you can calculate some of your costs as a constant value. For example, maybe you pay an employee $15/hr. But in the long run you need to factor in the increase in wages, materials, etc.
