If you invoke help open the Sizing & Transforming section and you will get a full description. Essentially changing the canvas size involves adding or taking away pixels from around the edge of your image, and Resize does just that by resizing the image.

Hi wumpabill,

The canvas is the white area that appears as soon as you create a new document. It's where you place all your layers, objects, text etc. The Resize Canvas command changes the size of this area without touching any of your layers, objects there - their size remains the same. It just changes the area you can work with. Resize Document changes the size of your document, that is, the canvas area plus all the layers, objects etc contained there simultaneously.
