What's the easiest way to explain the difference between vertical spacing system and baseline grid in digital design? By vertical spacing I understand distances between all elements on a web page and not only text.

The baseline grid is used to maintain consistent horizontal "lines" across all the columns.

Vertical spacing is the amount of space between elements determined by the amount of space available; paper size and margins.

Combined they both help create a vertical rhythm.

A vertical rhythm is the structure that guides a reader’s eye through the content vertically, hence the name. This is used to create a fluid experience when scrolling through a webpage and is essential for a great web experience.
