A web app runs on a browser. A desktop app runs on a stationary machine, or a laptop. On what we call "a computer". Basically, a desktop application is a PC program that runs locally on a PC gadget.

The main difference between the Web based application 
and Window based application is that the Web app. can be 
access from any ware in the world through the internet 
whereas window based app. need to be install on your 
machine to access.

1) Web Applications are hosted on web servers to serve request from internet clients through browsers. web applications have the authentication/authorization mechanism partially built.
2) Web-based Applications are also hosted on web servers but might also serve request from intranet clients through browser.web apps have validation controls.
3) Desktop Applications are not hosted on web server, instead, they use system environment and other resources of the O/S for serving request from a standalone or network client. windows apps don't have validation controls, data needs to be validated
through code.

In short 

  1. web applications can be accessible  only if it exists online
  2. desktop applications can be accessed as long as you have the particular application in you're computer
  3. web based applications are something like flash games
