Once your new project is created then Unity Editor opens, the following screen
Hierarchy Window: It is a text representation of every GameObject which you created in the Scene Window. The Hierarchy displays the structure of how game objects attach. If you remove/add any object that will represent in the scene window.
Scene Window: In this, you can see all objects which are there in a hierarchy. It can display 3D or 2D views and allows you to manipulate objects and their view from different perspectives. Here only you develop your app.
Game Window: The Game view simulates what your final rendered game will look like through your Scene Cameras. When you click the Play button, the simulation begins. Also, you can change the view by changing your camera position.
Inspector Window: It contains all the information about GameObjects such as which Scripts are added and how many variables are mentioned. Also, you can add different kinds of components like Rigidboy, BoxCollider, etc…
Project Window: It displays your library of Assets that are available to use in your Project. When you import Assets into your Project, they appear here.
