what is the difference bewteen a normal process and a service?

A process runs for the duration specified/dependent on the program that starts it off. A service exists as an independent program that can have processes of its own.

why should i use a service instead of a normal process and vice versa?

Application requirements. There can be way too many reasons for each to list, so you'll need to be specific about your scenario. Or, derive a set of criteria from the difference as illustrated above.

That would depend on the process or the service.
