Not much. A program usually runs as a process.

Some programs (like Internet Explorer) can be started as several
separate instances, which are separate processes. Other programs (like
Firefox) only use a single process even if you start new instances.

Some programs use more than one process for some tasks, like quickstart
helpers and local web servers.

There are also processes that you usually don't think of as programs,
like services and the windows desktop (explorer.exe).
