A view is something store in SQL server. A cte exists only in a procedure, and in fact can only be used once. Ctes also support recursion, which views do not. A view is used to create a commonly used view. A cte is used for the benefit of readability in a single block of sql.

so you mean view`s are stored result permanently and CTE`s Are Stored Result Temporary
did I got right?

Not the result. The view itself is stored for reuse through the db. The cte is local to a proc, and in fact, local to the next statement in the proc. You can't define a cte at the top of a proc and reference it again at the bottom, even.
