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.
