Difference between SYS and SYSTEM

Can someone please tell me the difference between SYS and SYSTEM? I understand that both are users belonging to the DBA role. I also understand that they have different passwords. But what is the real difference besides the schema. Is SYS used by DBAs and SYSTEM by Oracle tools? SYSTEM user can't view the data dictionary (owned by SYS schema)? Why have two? Please Help

Thanks in advance for any help
