Question about Linux - Unix :)

I'm reading the C programming book, but I just want to know these things:

1. Linux is an operating system or it is just a "Kernel" ...
2. How "Kernel" is different from operating system.
3. Unix and Linux are the same? if not then what is the main difference between them?
4. C# is just a language, right? or it is an operating system or something like that? What makes it different from DOS - Disk Operating System?

    2. How "Kernel" is different from operating system.
    Kernel is a part of OS which is mostly responsible for communication and management of Hardware like device driver, memory management.
    1. Linux is an operating system or it is just a "Kernel" :
    Its both a kernel as well as operating system and Linux kernel is similar to Unix.
    3. Unix and Linux are the same? if not then what is the main difference between them?
    I don't have much knowledge about it but you can Major Linux Vs UNIX Kernel Differences
    4. C# is just a language, right? or it is an operating system or something like that? What makes it different from DOS - Disk Operating System?
    Yes C# is language which is uses .net framework to build programs and software.
    Every OS is written in some language like windows in C++ and its kernel in C. Linux is build in C language also.
    DOS is a operating system written in Assembly language.
