A PhD is just one example of a doctorate.
A PhD is a 'generic' doctorate which is earned after 3-5 years of dedicated research and a publishable dissertation. PhD stands for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophy being generally the unknown - regardless of subject).
Other doctorates are MD (Medical Doctor), DPH (Doctorate in Public Health), DCS (Doctorate in Computer Science) and many more.
In some countries DSc or ScD (Doctor of Science), is a regular doctorate but in other countries it may be a special 'higher degree' that is given to honor many years of outstanding work.
It's the same thing. It's just a matter of semantics. For example, " He finished his doctorate at Rutgers University," or "Does Rutgers offer doctoral degrees?."

The PhD is a doctorate from which many specific programs of study fall. It is the highest level of educational attainment and typically take four years post bachelors degree to complete provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university,
The doctorate is the highest level of educational attainment. There are a number of types of doctorate degrees. Academic and Professional.
Some academic Doctorates would include:
Academic Degrees require advanced graduate research in the specialized field, and the writing of a doctoral dissertation (a published scholarly work) the premise of which is then "defended" before a panel of professors working in the general field of research.
Some professional Doctorates would include:
Professional doctorates, have their practice regulated by the various States, and require on average four years of graduate study at a specialized professional school, or university, and then from one to five or six years of post-graduate experience in a clinical setting.
All the above are doctoral degrees.
I Dont think there is any difference between PHD and Doctorate. A person who has acquired a PHD or Doctorate could be called as a Doctor....

Once you complete a PhD you become a Doctor of that subject.
Yes
The highest degree give by a university is a PhD. PhD means doctor of philosophy. But the PhD is given all subjects like science, math and physics.
Yes. There is Masters of Science and Masters of Engineering. You can also do doctor of philosphy(PhD) or Doctor of Engineering(ED).
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is available across multiple disciplines, as depending on the individual college or department. Traditional PhD have been conferred from the colleges of engineering, liberal & performing arts, science and nursing, For example a PhD in Political Science would come from an the college or university liberal arts department. A PhD in Chemistry would come fro the college of science, and so on.
There is no functional difference between Dr. and DR. Both are used as titles for people who hold the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Science (DSc), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), or any other doctoral level academic degree. The preferred form is "Dr." when using mixed case.
phd is a degree in research which a candidate can pursue after postgratution whereas dlit can be done after phd. it is a post phd degree.
A Medical Doctor went to med school, and is a licensed physician PhD degrees are offered in just about every field (including medicine). A PhD typically signifies a scientific researcher.
Professor (Last Name). If they have a PhD then Doctor (Last Name) is also appropriate in the U.S.
MD is Medical Doctor. An MS is a Masters of Science and the individual is not a doctor (that would require a PhD). Both an MD and a PhD have a great deal of education past the college level, but I would say that a Medical Doctor has more, particularly when you factor in the Internship that is required.
MPhil Masters degree, PhD Doctorate
A PhD Simply means that the person has a Doctorate which is the highest form of degree available from a university. A Marine Biologist could also have lower qualifications such as an Msc (Masters Degree in a science subject) Or the lower Bsc (Batchelors degree in science).
