ALT key is a modifier key that, when pressed with another key, will execute some action specific to whatever program is being used. Such as alt - left & right being forward & backward in firefox. Or will execute OS-wide commands such as alt-F4 closing applications.
ALT-GR is a modifier key used for generating typed characters not usually found on the keyboard. This is usually related foreign currency or punctuation £ ¿ è and the like. Keyboards which feature an ALT-GR key will usually show an alternate character on some keys, often in another color, pressing ALT-GR plus these keys will produce those characters.
The ALT-GR can in some cases be substituted on keyboards with an ALT-GR key by pressing both the ALT key and CTRL key.

What does alt do?
The Alt key (pronounced /ˈɔːlt/) on a computer keyboard is used to change (alternate) the function of other pressed keys. Thus, the Alt key is a modifier key, used in a similar fashion to the Shift key. For example, simply pressing "A" will type the letter a, but if you hold down either Alt key while pressing A, the computer will perform an Alt+A function, which varies from program to program. In non-US keyboard layouts, rather than a second Alt key, there is an 'Alt Gr' key to the right of the space bar. The key is located immediately to either side of the Space bar. Some keyboard layouts treat both Alt keys on the keyboard as the same key, while others do not.
