A nuclear family is husband, wife and their non-adult children.
An extended family is a nuclear family with their more distant relatives, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc.
Sometimes extended families live together or near each other. Sometimes nuclear families are widely separated from their relatives. Then the extended family still exists but does not interact as closely.
