if you're referring to a picture, an X chromosome is larger and a Y chromosome is smaller. So if you see a pair of sexchromosomes that are the same size, it's XX. If there's one small and one big, then it's a XY chromosome.

I am not completely sure but i think the difference is that one is smaller and the other is larger.
