What is the relationship between the Hierarchy window and the Scene view? 

While the Hierarchy window shows you the names of GameObjects and their parent-child relationships, the Scene view displays those same objects in simulated space. 

Scenes are containers for everything in the experience you are creating. One way to think about Scenes is as discrete experiences. For example, each level in a game could be a separate Scene, and the game’s main menu could be another. 

What happens when you select a GameObject in the Scene view? 

The Inspector window displays the selected GameObject’s components, providing all the details about that GameObject.
