The Constitution sets the powers of Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. These are called expressed powers, powers carefully listed in the Constitution. The only difference in the two houses is that all money bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Also, to become a law, a bill must be approved by both houses in exactly the same form.
The House of Representatives has more than two powers. Two of the powers they hold exclusively are: 1) Origination of all revenue (tax) bills.
2) Initiation of impeachment proceedings,

The Senate has the power to declare war, use a filibuster, final say on proposed laws. The house of Reps. does not hold this powers. There may be a few more powers that i am missing.
The Senate has 2 reps per state. That's 50 states times 2. 100 in the Senate. The House has reps based on population. It gets complicated but basically they stopped basing it on the number in the population and set the total number at 435 and now base it off relative population. So the house has way more members.
The total number of Representatives in congress is 435

This is the United States, where there is ot anything called the house of senate. There is a Senate which has 59 members, from each state. The other branch of congress is called the House of Representatives, and the number of reps in the House of Reps depends on the number that have been elected from each state district.

If you are talking about the house of commons in England. First of all, congress in the US is split into 2 seperate groups, the house of representatives (amount of reps. per state determined by population) and the senate (same amount of reps. per state, 2 each) the parliament on the other hand is separated into the house of lords (the equivalent of the senate) and the house of commons (equivalent to the house of reps.) so the similarity are very few, the senate is the "upper house" and the house of commons is a "lower house". the only similarity is that they both run the government.
