1I think you mean `$route`. – elclanrs Jul 27 '13 at 08:30

Services are singletons. They are instantiated the first time they are needed. Sometimes you have to configure a service before running it, for example in the .config part of the application module. This is where you use $routeProvider. After this, you can use the service instance (e.g. $route) normally, for example in the .run block of the app module.
Notice that with $routeProvider you define the routes (a configuration) and with $route you use methods that depend on the configuration.
There are three ways of defining services: the simplest is using service, then you can also use a factory and, if you need complex configuration, you use a provider AngularJS: Service vs provider vs factory

As @elclanrs pointed out, there's not $router that I know of. So I presume you mean the difference between $route and $routeProvider
The $route is used to deep-link URLs to Controllers and Views. It watches the location urls and tries to map it to existing paths. The $route is configured(defined) with the $routeProvider.
Here is the official documentation $route , $routeProvider

yes, of course I've read docs. For me unclear such naming. Because if we look at other providers we can see that each has "name" and "nameProvide" - that is private function and just link to the "name" – Stepan Suvorov Jul 27 '13 at 08:50
