difference between skew jitter

Can someone please explain the difference between Jitter and Skew. What problems they can cause and how each of them can be tackled?

different between clock jitter and skew

Skew is due to delay in the clock to gate in a synchronous systme
in clock skew the clock varies spatially.
Jitter is due manufacturing defects.

the difference between skew and jitter

Skew is an unwanted delay during the propagation lines between the clock source and clock destination. Search for "RoboClock" at https://www.cypress.com.
or for "clock syntesizer" at https://www.ti.com
Solving skew problems with PLL based circuits are usually adding phase noise (jitter) to a clean signal generator (-145dBc) destroying the pase noise parameter (down to -90dBc).
Jitter and skew are two corelated problems. Trying to remove one you're creating (more or less) the other.
