Whats difference between receding hairline and widow's peak?

in your opinionWhats difference between receding hairline and widow's peak?
A widow's peak is when the front hairline comes down to a point in the middle





A receding hairline is when the top of the hairline recedes backward toward the top of the head. Often referred to as baldness.





A widow's peak (widow's brow) is a descending V-shaped point in the middle of the hairline (above the forehead). The trait is inherited genetically and is dominant. A dominant trait is the observed trait. The term comes from English folklore, where it was believed that this hair formation was a sign of a woman who would outlive her husband





The peak refers to the beak or bill of a headdress, particularly a widow's hood, making people think a woman was being given a mourning hood for her husband's soon-to-be passing
