than: is used for comparison purpose.
For example: In studies, Ram is better than Mohan.
rather than: is most commonly used for instead of
For example: Rather than seating idle, I would like to study hard and beat the GMAT.
rather than : Can also be taken as adverb with conjunction, which means "and not"
For example: I decided to skip lunch rather than eat in the cafeteria again.
There are many more usage for rather than, but I guess need not to focus much.
PS: Experts comments are welcome.
