Convection rainfall occurs when warm air rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds. Orographic rainfall happens when moist air is forced to rise over a barrier like a mountain, cooling and creating precipitation on the windward side. Both processes result in rainfall, but the cause of the rising air and subsequent cooling differs between the two.
