A screenplay is meant to be performed. A novel is meant to be read. (You _can_ have an audio recording of a novel, but that's still someone reading it aloud, not a radio drama.) A screenplay has stage directions. A novel has chunks of prose descriptions. The difference is whether you intend for your story to be performed by one or more actors in front of an audience of one or more people to be experienced properly, or whether you intend for it to be read by one person.
