i am having a ul li list

<ul>
<li>Parent
    <ul>
       <li>
          child1
       </li>
       <li>
          child2  
       </li>

    </ul>
</li>
</ul>

and i am trying to use a selector jQuery('ul li:first') and jQuery('ul li:first-child') both giving the same result this makes me confused about the difference between the two is there a example which clarifies the difference between two selectors
