A new zone would be a complete namespace i.e. example.com. a new domain
would be a sub domain in an existing zone. i.e adding a domain named child
in the example.com zone would create a domain named child.example.com.

Let's suppose you are tan.net and you want to add daniel.tan.net without
creating a new zone. You would create a new domain in tan.net named daniel
with a blank host with the IP of daniel.tan.net site. The difference between
that and creating a host named daniel is that inside the subdomain you can
add www and mail A records and MX records.

Kevin, does that make it more efficient and fast in terms of name
resolution compared to create a new zone ?

I would say not any more efficient or fast, but if someone is hosting a
secondary zone for you on a server you have no control over, then it would
be better to have a sub domain rather than a separate zone. If you create a
separate zone then you would need to delegate the sub domain only to the DNS
servers that actually hold the zone.

Kevin, what do you mean by delegate the sub domain to the dns serve
that holds the zone ?

If you have a sub domain named "sub.example.com" then you would create a new
delegation in "example.com" named "sub" then point that delegation to the
DNS server that has the zone "sub.example.com"

Kevin, if the sub.example.com is hosted in remote server, then i need
to create a new delegation in "example.com" named "sub" in my local
DNS server and then point that delegation to the remote DNS server
that has the zone "sub.example.com" ? Right ? but how do i know
whether i have a sub domain hosted ? Thanks for explaining

How would you know?
You would know because you would have to have someone create the zone for
you.
