Little explanation for CLONE command

Hey you there, I'll be glad to get some explanation for the use of CLONE...

What is the differences between these:

$object2 = $object1;

$obect2 = clone $obect1;

Thanks

I get the idea - clone is duplicate object without affect the original. The difference between the two above is that if I will run a method on the copy, the original will get affect too, with clone it will affect only the copy.

Thanks anyway and hope it will help someone in the future :)
