Grid computing is a processor architecture that combines computer resources from various domains to reach a main objective. In grid computing, the computers on the network can work on a task together, thus functioning as a supercomputer.

A thin client is a lightweight computer that is purpose-built for remote access to a server (typically cloud or desktop virtualization environments). It depends heavily on another computer (its server) to fulfill its computational roles.

At its most basic level, grid computing is a computer network in which each computer's resources are shared with every other computer in the system. Processing power, memory and data storage are all community resources that authorized users can tap into and leverage for specific tasks.

On the other hand, in grid computing, a cluster of computers work together ... application typically used by thin clients or for handheld devices.

Grid computing can solve larger, more complex problems  in a shorter time
Easier to collaborate with other organizations
Make better use of existing hardware

Thin clients have a number of benefits, including:
Reduced cost
Increased security
More efficient manageability
Scalability
