In detail
Evening Kiddush is a Torah obligation (d'oraita) and includes blessings over wine, the creation narrative, and the sanctification of Shabbat. Morning Kiddush ('Kiddush Rabbah') is a rabbinic institution (d'rabbanan) and consists of only the wine blessing plus a few verses. Despite being called 'Rabbah' (great), it is actually shorter — the name is used respectfully.
